Notes from PPT:

Harsha Gopianandan from the Spam Filter Machine Learning team explained about false positives and false negatives and why we are seeing both across the system. He explained how the model works and encouraged colleges to keep tagging diligently so that model can learn from all new signatures.

Getting ready to update the model again with the Retraining Model with PII (December 2019). 

We talked about sending false negatives to the Tech Center and we will bulk tag them and upload to the model, so the model can benefit from the identified false negatives
