Overview

Concrete tool for computing balanced/imbalanced accuracy scores and displaying per-category benchmark results from the PINT Benchmark evaluation output.

Description

This is a Pattern Doc documenting the results interpretation logic embedded within the pint_benchmark() function (cell-17, lines 30-44). After evaluate_dataset() produces a grouped DataFrame of per-category/label accuracy, the scoring and display logic:

Computes the overall score using either balanced or imbalanced weighting
Prints a formatted results table (when quiet=False) showing model name, PINT Score, per-category breakdown, and evaluation date
Returns the score and results DataFrame for programmatic use

Results can also be persisted as markdown files in the results/ directory (8 existing result files in the repository).

Usage

This is the final step in all PINT Benchmark workflows. The results are automatically produced when pint_benchmark() is called. Use quiet=True to suppress printing and work with the return values programmatically.

Code Reference

Source Location

Repository: pint-benchmark
File: benchmark/pint-benchmark.ipynb (cell-17, scoring logic and print block)
File: results/*.md (8 persisted result files showing output format)

Signature

# Scoring logic (within pint_benchmark, cell-17)
# Balanced scoring:
score = float(
    benchmark.groupby("label")
    .agg({"total": "sum", "correct": "sum"})
    .assign(accuracy=lambda x: x["correct"] / x["total"])["accuracy"]
    .mean()
)

# Imbalanced scoring:
score = benchmark["correct"].sum() / benchmark["total"].sum()

# Display logic (within pint_benchmark, cell-17)
# Prints:
#   PINT Benchmark
#   =====
#   Model: {model_name}
#   Score ({weight}): {score}%
#   =====
#   {benchmark DataFrame}
#   =====
#   Date: {YYYY-MM-DD}
#   =====

Import

# No separate import — this logic is embedded in pint_benchmark()
# Access via the return value:
model_name, score, benchmark_df = pint_benchmark(df=df, ...)

Usage Examples

Reading Balanced Score

model_name, score, benchmark_df = pint_benchmark(
    df=df,
    eval_function=model.evaluate,
    model_name="My Model",
    weight="balanced",
)

print(f"Balanced accuracy: {round(score * 100, 2)}%")
# Output: Balanced accuracy: 95.22%

Comparing Balanced vs Imbalanced

_, balanced_score, _ = pint_benchmark(
    df=df, eval_function=model.evaluate,
    model_name="My Model", weight="balanced", quiet=True,
)

_, imbalanced_score, _ = pint_benchmark(
    df=df, eval_function=model.evaluate,
    model_name="My Model", weight="imbalanced", quiet=True,
)

print(f"Balanced: {round(balanced_score * 100, 2)}%")
print(f"Imbalanced: {round(imbalanced_score * 100, 2)}%")

Inspecting Per-Category Results

_, _, benchmark_df = pint_benchmark(
    df=df, eval_function=model.evaluate,
    model_name="My Model", quiet=True,
)

# View full breakdown
print(benchmark_df)

# Filter to see only injection detection accuracy
injection_results = benchmark_df.xs(True, level="label")
print(injection_results)

# Find worst-performing category
worst = benchmark_df["accuracy"].idxmin()
print(f"Worst category: {worst}")
