Introduction:

 

For binary classification models, AutoML will generate a confusion matrix after running a model experiment. This represents the True Positives, True Negatives, False Positives (model predicted true but target value was false), and False Negatives (model predicted false but target value was true). Classification explanation here

Explanation:

 

The confusion matrix is calculated from the hold out set for data training.

During the model training phase, the tool automatically splits data between training and hold out sets on a 80/20 basis.

The training data is split through a k fold iteration and trained on multiple samples.  The hold out dataset is held to the end of this process and then the model is run against this to generate the model metrics and confusion matrix.  You can think of the hold out as showing how the model performs against something it has never seen before.
