Labels missing from Validation results summary

I have a dataset with 3 labels: poitive/negative/either.
I moved all either data to the test set, so I am training only with positive/negative

When I Classify test data the either dataset does get classified, however they are not included in the summary table:

My expectation is:

Yeah, this is by design. If you have labels that are not in the training dataset they are omitted from the confusion matrix as they don’t give any meaningful information. The classification results and the gray dots in the feature explorer are (hopefully) helpful to set the right labels for this data.

Hmmm I was under the impression it was still helpful for me, but maybe I am a corner case.
Is there any downside to showing them?

Well it’s always going to show - in that case, there’s no data to cross-reference there, nor do we know if this is correct or not. @dansitu probably has better a idea on why :slight_smile:

Hi Joris,

This is interesting! Just so I understand the whole context, what’s the motivation behind using the “either” class during testing vs. labelling the “either” samples with either “positive” or “negative”?

One thing we’re looking at currently is allowing users to specify metadata for samples, so if there are certain samples of interest you could add a shared metadata tag and see how they perform as a category. Would this help solve the problem you are looking to solve with the “either” class?

Warmly,
Dan
