Why does OvO and OvR return the same result?
I'm using scikit-learn's roc_auc_score() function for a multiclass classification problem. With iris which has three labels (and another dataset), I'm getting the exact same output when I use one-vs-one and one-vs-rest. Does anyone know why this is…

Why is MSE loss working better for multi-class classification problem than categorical crossentropy?
I have built a model with multiple heads, some doing regression and some classification. I then sum up all the losses in a weighted manner to backpropagate.
For the classification heads, I use the one-hot encoding approach, and code takes argmax on…

Which Loss function & Metrics is more suitable for multi-label classification? Binary or Categorical cross-entropy and Why?
According to my knowledge(please correct me if I'm wrong),
Multi-label classification(mutually inclusive) i.e., samples might have more than 1 correct values (for example movie genre, disease detection, etc).
Multi-Class classification(mutually…

Multiclass Text Classification Cannot Detect OutOfBound. (Critical Issue of Chatbot Application)
TL;DR
When implementing chatbot application, the first task is to detect intent for user's input text.
This is a typical Multiclass Text Classification.
Intent is class and the number of class to detect is finite.
Lots of utterances(examples) is…

XGboost objectives: Is there a way to do Multi label (NOT multiclass ) classification?
Relatively simple question. Looking at the objective documentation for xgboost, I see "multi:softmax" and "multi:softprob", but both are mutliclass which will only output one class. Is there any way to predict multiple labels using xgboost or would…

Correct way of one-hot-encoding class labels for multi-class problem
I have a classification problem with multiple classes, let's call them A, B, C and D. My data has the following shape:
X=[#samples, #features, 1], y=[#samples,1].
To be more specific, the y looks like this:
[['A'], ['B'], ['D'], ['A'], ['C'],…

Can OneVsRestClassifier be used to produce individual binary classifier models in Python Scikit-Learn?
I am reading the documentation of Scikit-learn's OneVsRestClassifier(), link. It looks to me that, the OneVsRestClassifier first binarizes the multiple classes into binary classes, then train the model, and repeat for each of the classes. Then at…
