Error-Correcting Output Codes (ECOC) provide a robust framework for decomposing multi-class classification challenges into multiple binary sub-problems. By constructing a codematrix that assigns ...

A multi-class classification problem is one where the goal is to predict a discrete value where there are three or more possibilities. For example, you might want to predict the political leaning ...

Following new best practices, Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research revisits multi-class classification for when the variable to predict has three or more possible values.
