Zusammenfassung
Relation classification models are conventionally evaluated using only a single measure, e.g., micro-F1, macro-F1 or AUC.
In this work, we analyze weighting schemes, such as micro and macro, for imbalanced datasets.
We introduce a framework for weighting schemes, where existing schemes are extremes, and two new intermediate schemes.
We show that reporting results of different weighting schemes better highlights strengths and weaknesses of a model.
