Cost of false positives | Kellan Elliott-McCrea: Blog

Kevin Marks (q.v.) introduced me to Kellan’s Paradox of False Positives in Social Media, which predates the themes I explored in Billion Grains of Rice by 5+ years:

Imagine you’ve got a near perfect model for detecting spammers on Twitter. Say [that] Joe is (presumably hyperbolically) claiming 99% accuracy for his model. And for the moment we’ll imagine he is right. Even at 99% accuracy, that means this algorithm is going to be incorrectly flagging roughly 2 million tweets per day as spam that are actually perfectly legitimate.
