nineclass
Nineclass is a term used in data science and machine learning to denote a nine-class classification problem, where each input instance is assigned to one of nine mutually exclusive categories. The phrase serves as a concise shorthand in research notes, tutorials, and data-collection pipelines to describe problems that require nine distinct labels rather than binary or seven-class schemas. Nineclass problems occur across domains such as computer vision, natural language processing, and audio analysis, with concrete tasks including image labeling into nine object categories, text classification into nine topics, or audio tagging with nine sound classes.
In practice, nineclass problems are solved with standard multiclass techniques. Approaches include one-vs-rest or softmax logistic
Important considerations include class balance, where uneven class frequencies can bias metrics; clear, mutually exclusive category
