What does 'suppress' in the paper mean?

[LiewFeng]

Hi, @dbolya . The oracle will suppress some detection when fixing an error. Does 'suppress' mean deleting the detection or treating the detection as a false positive? Thanks.

Deleting the detection.

This happens here:

Lines 87 to 123 in 49a5d2a

	class BestGTMatch:
	"""
	Some errors are fixed by changing false positives to true positives.
	The issue with fixing these errors naively is that you might have
	multiple errors attempting to fix the same GT. In that case, we need
	to select which error actually gets fixed, and which others just get
	suppressed (since we can only fix one error per GT).
	To address this, this class finds the prediction with the hiighest
	score and then uses that as the error to fix, while suppressing all
	other errors caused by the same GT.
