A Class Prediction Task is a nominal prediction task whose mapping set is a finite class set.
- AKA: Categorization, Categorical Label Assignment.
- Context:
- Input: an item (often a data item); and a class set.
- output: one or more class set members (possibly as Class Member Identifiers).
- measures: e.g. Classification Accuracy.
- It can range from being a Binary Classification Task to being a Multiclass Classification Task (such as large multiclass classification), depending on the Class Set size.
- It can range from being a Unilabel Classification Task to being a Multilabel Classification Task, depending on the number of class outputs,.
- It can range from being a Simple-Input Classification Task to being a Complex-Input Classification Task, depending on the complexity of the input item.
- It can range from being a Model-based Classification Task to being ...
- It can range from being a Manual Classification Task to being an Automated Classification Task.
- It can range from being a Heuristic Classification Task to being a Data-Driven Classification Task (such as a supervised classification), depending on whether some uncertainty is allowed in the decision.
- It can range from being a Probabilistic Classification Task to being ...
- It can range from being a Batch Classification Task to being an Online Classification Task.
- It can be solved by a Classification System (that implements a classification algorithm).
- It can be instantiated as a Classification Act.
- It can (often) be a Data Classification Task.
- …
- Example(s):
- a Text Item Classification Task.
- an Image Classification Task.
- a Complex Input Classification Task, such as: Part-of-Speech Tagging, or Text Chunking.
- a Rules-based Classification Task, such as: Given the Classification Model IF X is human THEN X is mortal. what is the class membership of X=Socrates?
- a Biological Specific Classification.
- Given the Patient Record p, classify whether the patient should or should not be given aspirin.
- Guess the outcome of a Card Draw Experiment based on your intuition
- Guess the outcome of a Card Draw Experiment based on Data of the coin's past performance
- Guess whether Customer [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] will not pay their current bill by its due date, based on your intuition.
- Guess whether Customer [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] will not pay their current bill by its due date based on Data of the customer and other customer's past performance.
