classification model

A model whose prediction is a class. For example, the following are all classification models: - A model that predicts an input sentence's language (French? Spanish? Italian?). - A model that predicts tree species (Maple? Oak? Baobab?). - A model that predicts the positive or negative class for a particular medical condition. In contrast, regression models predict numbers rather than classes. Two common types of classification models are: - binary classification - multi-class classification

Practitioners refer to classification model when building, training, or evaluating machine learning systems. It appears in research papers, product documentation, and technical discussions about AI capabilities and limitations.
