What it means

Classification teaches a model to choose a label, such as yes or no.

Why it matters

It gives you one reliable building block for doing Data Science work correctly and explaining it to someone else.

Tiny example

Imagine a science task as a small recipe. Classification is one named step in that recipe, with a clear input and result.

Remember this

Say it simply: “I use Classification to move from a question to a checked result.”
