Abstract

Whenever a new supervised Machine Learning (ML) algorithm or solu- tion is developed, it is imperative to evaluate the predictive performance it attains for diverse datasets. This is done in order to stress out the strengths and weak- nesses of the algorithms and evidence for which situations they are most useful. A common practice is to gather some datasets from public benchmark repositories for such an evaluation. But little or no specific criteria are used in the selection of these datasets, which is often ad-hoc. In this project we will investigate the importance of properly building a diverse and challenging benchmark of datasets in order to properly evaluate ML models and really understand their capabilities.
