Let's understand what these numbers mean with an example. Let's say out model can classify between two categories, category 0 and category 1. If your model predicts something as category 0 and it belongs to category 0 in reality we call it a true positive, shown by the top left number. If your model predicts something as category 1 and it belongs to category 0 in reality we call it a false positive, shown by the top right number. If your model predicts something as category 0 and it belongs to category 1 in reality we call it a false negative, shown by the bottom left number. If your model predicts something as category 0 and it belongs to category 0 in reality we call it a true negative, shown by the top left number.
As you might have guessed we like to have a larger number of true positives and true negatives and a lower number of false negatives and false positives, which implies that the model performs better.
