Improving upon Precision, Recall, and F1 with Gain metrics

This blog post introduces variants of Precision, Recall, and F1 metrics called Precision Gain, Recall Gain, and F1 Gain. The gain variants have desirable properties such as meaningful linear interpolation of PR curves and a universal baseline across tasks. This post explains what these benefits mean for you, how the gain metrics are calculated and outline some examples for intuitive comparison.
