Classification

Classification is a process in which a computer or system sorts items into categories based on their features or characteristics. For example, it can identify emails as either "spam" or "not spam," or recognize whether a photo contains a dog or a cat. The system learns from examples and then applies this knowledge to classify new, unseen items accurately. It’s a foundational concept in machine learning and artificial intelligence, helping automate decision-making by organizing data into meaningful groups for analysis or action.
