Answer : C
The Supervised Machine Learning algorithm can be broadly classified into Regression and Classification Algorithms. In Regression algorithms, we have predicted the output for continuous values, but to predict the categorical values, we need Classification algorithms.
What is the Classification Algorithm?
The Classification algorithm is a Supervised Learning technique that is used to identify the category of new observations on the basis of training data. In Classification, a program learns from the given dataset or observations and then classifies new observation into a number of classes or groups. Such as, Yes or No, 0 or 1, Spam or Not Spam, cat or dog, etc. Classes can be called as targets/labels or categories.
Unlike regression, the output variable of Classification is a category, not a value, such as 'Green or Blue', 'fruit or animal', etc. Since the Classification algorithm is a Supervised learning technique, hence it takes labeled input data, which means it contains input with the corresponding output.
In classification algorithm, a discrete output function(y) is mapped to input variable(x).
y=f(x), where y = categorical output
The best example of an ML classification algorithm is Email Spam Detector.
The main goal of the Classification algorithm is to identify the category of a given dataset, and these algorithms are mainly used to predict the output for the categorical data.
The algorithm which implements the classification on a dataset is known as a classifier. There are two types of Classifications:
Binary Classifier: If the classification problem has only two possible outcomes, then it is called as Binary Classifier.
Examples: YES or NO, MALE or FEMALE, SPAM or NOT SPAM, CAT or DOG, etc.
Multi-class Classifier: If a classification problem has more than two outcomes, then it is called as Multi-class Classifier.
Example: Classifications of types of crops, Classification of types of music.
Binary classification in deep learning refers to the type of classification where we have two class labels -- one normal and one abnormal. Some examples of binary classification use:
* To detect whether email is spam or not
* To determine whether or not a patient has a certain disease in medicine.
* To determine whether or not quality specifications were met when it comes to QA (Quality Assurance).
For example, the normal class label would be that a patient has the disease, and the abnormal class label would be that they do not, or vice-versa.
As is with every other type of classification, it is only as good as the binary classification dataset that it has -- or, in other words, the more training and data it has, the better it is.
