Question

You work for a large social network service provider whose users post articles and discuss news. Millions of comments are posted online each day, and more than 200 human moderators constantly review comments and flag those that are inappropriate. Your team is building an ML model to help human moderators check content on the platform. The model scores each comment and flags suspicious comments to be reviewed by a human. Which metric(s) should you use to monitor the model's performance?

Options

  • ANumber of messages flagged by the model per minute
  • BNumber of messages flagged by the model per minute confirmed as being inappropriate by
  • CPrecision and recall estimates based on a random sample of 0.1% of raw messages each minute
  • DPrecision and recall estimates based on a sample of messages flagged by the model as

Explanation

In a human-in-the-loop content moderation system, the model's job is to surface suspicious comments for human review. Option D - computing precision and recall on a sample of messages the model flagged - directly measures how well the model performs that job. Precision tells you what fraction of flagged comments are truly inappropriate (i.e., is the model wasting reviewers' time?); recall on the flagged set tells you about the model's confidence distribution. Option C (random 0.1% of all raw messages) is misleading because the vast majority of raw messages are clean - the resulting metrics would reflect the class imbalance, not the model's flagging quality. Option A measures only volume. Option B is a raw count of true positives, not a normalized metric - it doesn't account for the total number of flags or misses.
