Q. What are precision, recall, and AUC?
Ans. 

Precision-Recall AUC is a metric used to evaluate the performance of classification models, particularly in imbalanced datasets.

  • Precision-Recall AUC focuses on the trade-off between precision and recall for different threshold values.

  • It is particularly useful when dealing with imbalanced datasets where the positive class is rare.

  • A higher Precision-Recall AUC indicates better model performance in terms of precision...

GF salary Vs. My salary
Me and my gf have been dating for 5 years. Back in 2020, I started my career with a package of ₹5 LPA. Over the years, I’ve reached ₹22 LPA in 2025. She started her journey with ₹3 LPA(2020) and is now earning ₹8 LPA(2025). We’ve been in a live-in relationship for around 2 years, and the idea was to share expenses equally. But, equal sharing never really happened. If we go to a café she likes, especially with friends, I will pay the entire bill. We only split the house rent and grocery bills. I told her lots of time to cut down these costly cafe expenses or earn more money, increase your package, study and work hard, but.....she is now in her comfort zone. Being from a tech background, I have seen people upgrade their skills and package for a good life in metro cities. I am ready to support her in her studies, but she is like I am earning enough for myself.... No, you are not. I love her, but I don't know how to overcome this issue between us. Please suggest!
