**Issue**: When running predictions with a custom YOLO11 model, there are challenges with the format and visualization of the bounding box coordinates.
**Solution**:
- Coordinate Format: YOLOv8 provides bounding box coordinates in absolute pixel values. To convert these to relative coordinates (ranging from 0 to 1), you need to divide by the image dimensions. For example, let's say your image size is 640x640. Then you would do the following:

**Issue**: Facing issues with how to filter and display only specific objects in the prediction results when running YOLO11 using the Ultralytics library.
**Solution**: To detect specific classes use the classes argument to specify the classes you want to include in the output. For instance, to detect only cars (assuming 'cars' have class index 2):
```shell

**Issue**: Confusion regarding the difference between box precision, mask precision, and [confusion matrix](https://www.ultralytics.com/glossary/confusion-matrix) precision in YOLO11.
**Solution**: Box precision measures the accuracy of predicted bounding boxes compared to the actual ground truth boxes using IoU (Intersection over Union) as the metric. Mask precision assesses the agreement between predicted segmentation masks and ground truth masks in pixel-wise object classification. Confusion matrix precision, on the other hand, focuses on overall classification accuracy across all classes and does not consider the geometric accuracy of predictions. It's important to note that a [bounding box](https://www.ultralytics.com/glossary/bounding-box) can be geometrically accurate (true positive) even if the class prediction is wrong, leading to differences between box precision and confusion matrix precision. These metrics evaluate distinct aspects of a model's performance, reflecting the need for different evaluation metrics in various tasks.

## FAQ
### How do I resolve installation errors with YOLOv8?
### How do I resolve installation errors with YOLO11?
Installation errors can often be due to compatibility issues or missing dependencies. Ensure you use Python 3.8 or later and have PyTorch 1.8 or later installed. It's beneficial to use virtual environments to avoid conflicts. For a step-by-step installation guide, follow our [official installation guide](../quickstart.md). If you encounter import errors, try a fresh installation or update the library to the latest version.
### Why is my YOLOv8 model training slow on a single GPU?
### Why is my YOLO11 model training slow on a single GPU?
Training on a single GPU might be slow due to large batch sizes or insufficient memory. To speed up training, use multiple GPUs. Ensure your system has multiple GPUs available and adjust your `.yaml` configuration file to specify the number of GPUs, e.g., `gpus: 4`. Increase the batch size accordingly to fully utilize the GPUs without exceeding memory limits. Example command:

This sets the training process to the first GPU. Consult the `nvidia-smi` command to confirm your CUDA setup.
### How can I monitor and track my YOLOv8 model training progress?
### How can I monitor and track my YOLO11 model training progress?
Tracking and visualizing training progress can be efficiently managed through tools like [TensorBoard](https://www.tensorflow.org/tensorboard), [Comet](https://bit.ly/yolov8-readme-comet), and [Ultralytics HUB](https://hub.ultralytics.com/). These tools allow you to log and visualize metrics such as loss, [precision](https://www.ultralytics.com/glossary/precision), [recall](https://www.ultralytics.com/glossary/recall), and mAP. Implementing [early stopping](#continuous-monitoring-parameters) based on these metrics can also help achieve better training outcomes.
### What should I do if YOLOv8 is not recognizing my dataset format?
### What should I do if YOLO11 is not recognizing my dataset format?
Ensure your dataset and labels conform to the expected format. Verify that annotations are accurate and of high quality. If you face any issues, refer to the [Data Collection and Annotation](https://docs.ultralytics.com/guides/data-collection-and-annotation/) guide for best practices.
