Abstract

In many practical situations, we need to make a binary decision based on the available data: whether an incoming email is a spam or not, whether to give a bank loan to a company, etc. In many such situations, we can (and do) use machine learning to come up with such a decision. The problem is that while the results of a machine learning model are not 100% reliable, the existing machine learning algorithms do not allow us to decide how reliable is each result. In this paper, for simple examples, we provide a technique for gauging this reliability.
