AI summary

One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods are provided. Machine learning model training may be performed using first training data to generate a first machine learning model. Inference-training data may be generated, wherein the inference-training data may include a plurality of sets of training data of the first training data, a plurality of sets of inference data, and/or target information indicative of the plurality of sets of training data being associated with a first classification and the plurality of sets of inference data being associated with a second classification. Machine learning model training may be performed using the inference-training data to generate a second machine learning model. Predictions associated with one or more sets of data may be determined using the second machine learning model. An evaluation of the first machine learning model and the one or more sets of data may be generated based upon the predictions.
