Recap: What Is Classification?

Learning goal

Understand and apply a simple classification model.

Read one card at a time. Focus on the main idea first, then look at the visual on the right to help it stick.

Classification predicts a category instead of a number.

Examples include spam/not-spam and pass/fail.

The categories must be defined in advance.

It is a core supervised learning task.

This builds directly on the concepts from Week 3.

Remember

Classification is for choosing among known categories, not estimating numbers.
