Multiclass Classification

Multiclass classification models predict one of more than two outcomes. In Aporia, these models are represented with the multiclass model type.

Examples of multiclass classification problems:

• Is this product a book, movie, or clothing?

• Is this movie a romantic comedy, documentary, or thriller?

• Which category of products is most interesting to this customer?

Data Format In DB

If you have a model with one category prediction, then your database may look like the following:

id	feature1 (numeric)	feature2 (boolean)	prediction (category)	label (category)	timestamp (datetime)
1	13.5	True	Cat	Cat	2014-10-19 10:23:54
2	-8	False	Dog	Cat	2014-10-19 10:24:24

To integrate this type of model follow our Quickstart, and during the schema mapping remember to include a categorical prediction field and categorical actual field and linked them together.
