CLASSIFICATION
Classification is afundamental concept in data science and machine
learning.
Classification is a supervised learning technique in machine learning
where the goal is to predict the category (label/class) of new data
points based on patterns learned from past data.
Example:
Spam Email Detection: Email text → Spam / Not Spam
Medical Diagnosis: Patient data → Disease / No Disease
Image Recognition: Image → Cat / Dog / Bird
Types of Classification
BinaryClassification, This is the simplest case, where
each input is assigned to one of two classes.
The data is labeled in a binary way (e.g., 0/1, true/false,
positive/negative).
5.
Types of Classification
Multi-ClassClassification, Here, there are more than two
possible classes, but still exactly one label per example.
The model must pick one class out of many.
6.
Types of Classification
Multi-LabelClassification, In some tasks, each instance
can belong to multiple classes simultaneously. This is
different from multi-class, since examples are not
exclusive to one class i.e.Multiple labels per input
7.
Types of Classification
ImbalancedClassification, Many real-world datasets are
imbalanced, meaning some classes have many more
examples than others i.e. unequal class distribution
