Machine learning tasks

A discussion of the difference between classification and regression, presented by Professor Simon Parsons

A closer look at the core machine learning tasks of classification and regression.

In binary classification we are looking for a yes or no answer.

In multiclass classification there are several options for each data point (e.g. three different species of Iris flower).

In regression we are looking to predict a number based on some set of inputs.

This video dicusses these ideas in more detail.
