Metrics

Connhex AI supports both essential and advanced evaluation metrics: while the latter might be less intuitive, they are often more representative of prediction quality. This is especially important in anomaly detection tasks, since anomalies are almost always windows of time instead of discrete points¹.

1. In other words, you're usually better-off with point-adjusted metrics instead of pointwise metrics. You still have the option to select the latter, for example if models are performing poorly on short anomalies.↩
