Binary classification model

From Computer Science Wiki

A binary classification model is a type of machine learning model that is used to classify data into two distinct classes or categories. These models are trained to differentiate between two possible outcomes, such as "yes" and "no", "true" and "false", or "positive" and "negative". Examples of binary classification problems include spam detection, sentiment analysis, and medical diagnosis. Common algorithms used in binary classification include logistic regression, decision trees, and support vector machines.

Some examples:

  1. Spam detection: A binary classification model can be trained to classify emails as spam or not spam based on features such as the sender, subject, and content of the email.
  2. Sentiment analysis: A binary classification model can be used to classify text as positive or negative based on features such as the words and phrases used in the text.
  3. Medical diagnosis: A binary classification model can be trained to classify patients as having a certain disease or not based on features such as symptoms, medical test results, and demographic information.
  4. Fraud detection: A binary classification model can be used to identify fraudulent transactions in financial systems based on features such as the amount, location, and time of the transaction.
  5. Image recognition: A binary classification model can be trained to identify if an image contains a certain object or not based on features such as color, texture, and shape.
