Classification

Friendly Description: Classification is teaching a computer to sort things into buckets. It's exactly like sorting laundry: lights go here, darks go there, delicates over there. The AI looks at something new and decides which group it belongs in, based on patterns it learned from many examples.

Example: Your email's spam filter is classifying every incoming message into one of two buckets: "inbox" or "spam." It learned what spam usually looks like by studying millions of past examples, and now it makes that decision for every new email in a fraction of a second.
