Abstract: Machine learning (ML) processes ranks data instances to determine when to adjust parameters of a machine learning model. Data instances are ranked by receiving data instances. Further, ranked instances are determined based on the data instances and a machine learning model. A metric is determined based on the ranked instances. An adjusted machine learning model is generated by adjusting one or more parameters of the machine learning model based on the metric.
