Sorting Out the Confusion


Note that training with the augmented training set has diminished classification accuracy for the white class by 41%.

Classification

True Class

Asian Black Hispanic White
Asian 0.73 0.19 0.00 0.08
Black 0.11 0.69 0.00 0.20
Hispanic 0.23 0.62 0.00 0.15
White 0.25 0.25 0.04 0.46

 

Note there is a significant degree of confusion between the black and white classes.

Let's try adding a new feature to sort this out...
