Abstract

Features are disclosed for estimating a false rejection rate in a detection system. The false rejection rate can be estimated by fitting a model to a distribution of detection confidence scores. An estimated false rejection rate can then be computed for confidence scores that fall below a threshold. The false rejection rate and model can be verified once the detection system has been deployed by obtaining additional data with confidence scores falling below the threshold. Adjustments to the model or other operational parameters can be implemented based on the verified false rejection rate, model, or additional data.
