Classifier (mathematics)

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.

For a list of classifier applications and classifier technologies, please see statistical classification.
