Binary classification

One of the easiest algorithms to understand is binary classification. Binary classification is a supervised machine learning algorithm. As the name implies, the output of a model trained with a binary classification algorithm will return a true or false conviction (as in 0 or 1). Problems best suited to a binary classification model include determining whether a comment is hateful or whether a file is malicious. ML.NET provides several binary classification model algorithms, which we will cover in Chapter 4, Classification Model, along with a working example of determining whether a file is malicious or not.
