Revisiting Precision and Recall Definition for Generative Model Evaluation

Simon, Loïc, Webster, Ryan, Rabin, Julien

Understand

In this article we revisit the definition of Precision-Recall (PR) curves for generative models proposed by Sajjadi et al.

  • (arXiv:1806.00035).
  • Rather than providing a scalar for generative quality, PR curves distinguish mode-collapse (poor recall) and bad quality (poor precision).
  • We first generalize their formulation to arbitrary measures, hence removing any restriction to finite support.
