classificatienauwkeurigheid
Classification is the act of organizing items into categories based on shared properties. The goal is to enable prediction, retrieval, and understanding by arranging diversity into a structured framework. In science, classification ranges from biological taxonomy to chemical nomenclature, where organisms or substances are grouped in hierarchical systems. In information technology, data classification involves labeling data according to its sensitivity, usage, or type to support storage, access control, and governance. In machine learning, classification refers to supervised learning tasks in which a model learns from labeled examples to assign predefined categories to new inputs.
Biological classification, or taxonomy, traditionally arranges life into a nested hierarchy: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order,
In data science, common methods include rule-based, probabilistic, and statistical approaches. Supervised classifiers such as logistic
Applications span medicine (diagnosis support), finance (fraud detection), image and text recognition, and quality control. Challenges
Because classification shapes how information is organized and acted upon, clear definitions, reliable data, and transparent
