(Visually) Interpreting the confusion-matrix:

But first, what is a confusion matrix? In machine learning, a confusion matrix is a kind-of confusing table used to understand how well our model predictions perform(especially confusing when we have multiple classes and not the classic binary 0/1 problems). However, gradually I figured out that the confusion-matrix is not so confusing and helps me a ton in understanding the model behaviour and interpreting the results. So I'm going to try to do the same here.. make it less confusing, more interesting and easier to interpret! The columns represent predictions made by our model and the rows represent the actual classes(this is the format of the very popular Python library for ML: sklearn.
