Classifiers
Classifiers
A classifieris a method that learns from training data to predict
the labels of testing data.
There are many classifiers, each classifier has its own method.
Different classifiers have different accuracies.
Selection of Classifiers
Selectionof Classifiers
There are many classifiers out there, which classifier should I
use ?
It depends on the problem.
Each classifier has its own advantages and disadvantages.
For fast training time, we use Naïve Bayes or KNN, we do not
use decision tree or ANN
For high accuracy, we use ANN or SVM
For fast prediction, we use decision tree, not KNN
Dataset is small, do not use ANN
Dataset is very large, use ANN, do not use SVM
