In a binary classification model, a large F1 score of 1 indicates excellent precision and recall, while a low score indicates poor model performance.Interpreting the F1 score depends on the specific problem and context at hand. In general, a higher F1 score suggests better model performance. However, what constitutes a “good” or “acceptable” F1 score varies based on factors such as the domain, application, and consequences of errors.For instance, in a medical diagnosis task where missing a disease is more critical than falsely diagnosing it, a high recall score (even at the expense of precision) becomes more important. In this case, a higher F1 score would be desirable. Conversely, in a spam filtering task where misclassifying a legitimate email as spam is more detrimental than letting a spam email through, a high precision score (even at the expense of recall) is more important. Thus, a higher F1 score would be desired in this scenario.
