### Error Analysis

**CSV Export** - Identify specific misclassified images:
```csv
image,actual,predicted,confidence
/test/kohlmeise/img001.jpg,kohlmeise,blaumeise,0.6234
/test/blaumeise/img045.jpg,blaumeise,kohlmeise,0.5891
```

**JSON Export** - Complete metrics for programmatic access:
```json
{
  "overall_accuracy": 0.9636,
  "metrics": {
    "blaumeise": {
      "precision": 0.966,
      "recall": 0.933,
      "f1_score": 0.949,
      "true_positives": 28,
      "false_positives": 1,
      "false_negatives": 2,
      "total": 30
    },
    ...
  },
  "confusion_matrix": { ... }
}
```

## 📁 Test Dataset Structure

Organize your test images by species in subfolders:

```
test-dataset/
├── blaumeise/          # Ground truth: Blue Tit
│   ├── image001.jpg
│   ├── image002.jpg
│   └── ...
├── kohlmeise/          # Ground truth: Great Tit
│   ├── image003.jpg
│   └── ...
├── rotkehlchen/        # Ground truth: Robin
│   └── ...
└── kernbeißer/         # Ground truth: Hawfinch
    └── ...
```

The folder name determines the ground truth label for evaluation.

## 🎯 Use Cases

### 1. Model Comparison
Compare different training runs to find the best model:

```bash
# Evaluate Model A
vogel-trainer evaluate --species-model ~/models/run-1/ --test-dir ~/test/ --export-json metrics-1.json

# Evaluate Model B
vogel-trainer evaluate --species-model ~/models/run-2/ --test-dir ~/test/ --export-json metrics-2.json

# Compare JSON outputs programmatically
```

### 2. Error Analysis
Identify which species are commonly confused:

```bash
vogel-trainer evaluate \
  --species-model ~/models/final/ \
  --test-dir ~/test/ \
  --export-misclassified errors.csv
  
# Review errors.csv to see confusion patterns
# Collect more training data for confused species
```

### 3. Progress Tracking
Monitor improvement across training iterations:

```bash
# Evaluate after each training epoch
for epoch in {10,20,30,40,50}; do
  vogel-trainer evaluate \
    --species-model ~/models/epoch-$epoch/ \
    --test-dir ~/test/ \
    --export-json metrics-epoch-$epoch.json
done
```

### 4. Quality Assurance
Validate model before deployment:

```bash
# Strict evaluation with confidence threshold
vogel-trainer evaluate \
  --species-model ~/models/production/ \
  --test-dir ~/validation-set/ \
  --min-confidence 0.85 \
  --export-json qa-report.json
  
# Ensure accuracy meets requirements (e.g., >95%)
```

### 5. Dataset Debugging
Find issues in your training or test data:

```bash
vogel-trainer evaluate \
  --species-model kamera-linux/german-bird-classifier \
  --test-dir ~/my-dataset/ \
  --export-misclassified outliers.csv
  
# Review outliers.csv for:
# - Mislabeled images
# - Poor quality images
# - Species not in model
```

## 🌐 Internationalization

Full support for multiple languages:

```bash
# English (default)
vogel-trainer evaluate --species-model ~/models/ --test-dir ~/test/

# German
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 vogel-trainer evaluate --species-model ~/models/ --test-dir ~/test/

# Japanese
LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 vogel-trainer evaluate --species-model ~/models/ --test-dir ~/test/
```

All output (headers, metrics, progress bars) automatically translates to the selected language.
