1. What is Accuracy in AI Detection?

Accuracy measures the proportion of correct predictions (both true positives and true negatives) among all predictions made by an AI detector. It's a fundamental metric for evaluating the performance of classification systems like Quillbot's AI detector.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the accuracy equation:

\[ Acc = \frac{TP + TN}{TP + TN + FP + FN} \]

Where:

\( TP \) — True Positives: Correctly identified AI-generated content
\( TN \) — True Negatives: Correctly identified human-written content
\( FP \) — False Positives: Human content incorrectly flagged as AI
\( FN \) — False Negatives: AI content incorrectly identified as human

Explanation: The equation calculates the ratio of correct predictions to total predictions, providing a simple measure of overall detector performance.

3. Importance of Accuracy Measurement

Details: Accuracy is crucial for evaluating how reliable an AI detector is. High accuracy means the detector makes few mistakes in classifying content, which is essential for academic integrity checks and content moderation.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the counts from your confusion matrix (TP, TN, FP, FN). All values must be non-negative integers. The calculator will compute the accuracy percentage.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's considered a good accuracy score?
A: Generally, >90% is excellent, 80-90% is good, 70-80% is fair, and <70% may need improvement. However, context matters - some applications demand higher accuracy than others.

Q2: Are there limitations to accuracy as a metric?
A: Yes, accuracy can be misleading with imbalanced datasets. For example, if 95% of content is human, a detector that always says "human" would have 95% accuracy but be useless.

Q3: What other metrics should I consider?
A: Precision, recall, F1-score, and ROC curves provide more nuanced performance evaluation, especially with imbalanced data.

Q4: How can I improve my AI detector's accuracy?
A: Use more training data, balance your dataset, tune model parameters, or try different algorithms/architectures.

Q5: Does accuracy vary by content type?
A: Yes, detectors typically perform better on some content types (e.g., formal essays) than others (e.g., creative writing or code).
