Algorithms can be a powerful aid to decision-making - particularly when decisions rely, even implicitly, on predictions 7. We are already seeing algorithms play this role in domains including hiring, education, lending, medicine, and criminal justice 2, 6, 10. As is typical in machine learning applications, accuracy is an important measure for these tasks.
