FIND OUT MOREAUC / Area under curve
Area under curve (AUC) is used to see how well your classifier can separate positive and negative examples.
AUC = 1, means the model’s predictions are perfect, but 0 is also good news because you just need to invert your model’s output to obtain a perfect model.
AUC explained
The AUC metric computes the area under a discretized curve of true positive versus false positive rates, Receiver Operating Characteristic curve.
AUC around 0.5 is the same thing as a random guess. The further away the AUC is from 0.5, the better. If AUC is below 0.5, then you may need to invert the decision your model is making.

This StackExchange post contains a nice explanation of the AUC.
