Learn to evaluate an intent classifier beyond just accuracy for better performance in support agents
Action Steps
- Build a test dataset with diverse user inputs to evaluate the intent classifier
- Run experiments to measure precision, recall, and F1 score beyond accuracy
- Configure the classifier to handle out-of-vocabulary words and typos
- Test the classifier's robustness to different user personas and languages
- Apply techniques like cross-validation to ensure reliable evaluation results
