#REDIRECT [[Statistical classification]] classifier
In [[mathematics]], a '''classifier''' is a mapping from a (discrete or continuous) [[feature space]] ''X'' to a discrete set of labels ''Y''.

Classifiers may either be fixed classifiers or learning classifiers, and learning classifiers may in turn be divided into supervised and unsupervised learning classifiers.

There are a number of different types of classifier technologies:
* Bayes classifers:
** [[Naive Bayes classifier]]
** [[Optimal Bayes classifier]]
* [[Support vector machine]]s
* [[k-nearest neighbor]] classifiers
* [[neural network]] classifiers
* [[linear classifier]]s
** [[Fisher's linear discriminant]]
* [[quadratic classifier]]s

Classifiers are used in many practical applications, including [[optical character recognition]], [[speech recognition]] and [[handwriting recognition]], [[biometric identification]], [[document classification]] and Internet [[search engine]]s.
