Choose among various algorithms to train and validate classification models for binary or multiclass problems. After training multiple models, compare their validation errors side-by-side, and then choose the best model. To help you decide which algorithm to use, see Train Classification Models in Classification Learner App.
This flow chart shows a common workflow for training classification models, or classifiers, in the Classification Learner app.
Classification Learner | Train models to classify data using supervised machine learning |
Train Classification Models in Classification Learner App
Workflow for training, comparing and improving classification models, including automated, manual, and parallel training.
Select Data and Validation for Classification Problem
Import data into Classification Learner from the workspace or files, find example data sets, and choose cross-validation or holdout validation options.
In Classification Learner, automatically train a selection of models, or compare and tune options in decision tree, discriminant analysis, logistic regression, naive Bayes, support vector machine, nearest neighbor, and ensemble models.
Assess Classifier Performance in Classification Learner
Compare model accuracy scores, visualize results by plotting class predictions, and check performance per class in the Confusion Matrix.
