Klassifikatsiooniülesannete

Klassifikatsiooniülesanded refer to a fundamental type of problem in machine learning and computer science where the goal is to assign an input item to one of several predefined categories or classes. This is a supervised learning task, meaning that the algorithm learns from a labeled dataset where each data point is already associated with its correct class. The learned model can then be used to predict the class of new, unseen data points.

The process typically involves training a classification model on a dataset that consists of features describing each item and a corresponding class label. Common algorithms used for classification include logistic regression, support vector machines (SVMs), decision trees, random forests, and neural networks. The choice of algorithm often depends on the nature of the data, the complexity of the relationships between features and classes, and the desired performance metrics.

Classification tasks have a wide range of applications. In image recognition, they are used to identify objects within images, such as recognizing cats and dogs or classifying different types of medical scans. In natural language processing, classification is employed for tasks like sentiment analysis (determining if a text is positive, negative, or neutral), spam detection (identifying unwanted emails), and language identification. Other examples include medical diagnosis, fraud detection in financial transactions, and customer churn prediction in business. Evaluating the performance of a classification model is crucial, and common metrics include accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC).
