例如，在一个包含三个类别的多类分类问题中，您需要对标签为 A、B 和 C 的示例进行分类，您可以将该问题转换为两个单独的二元分类问题。首先，您可以创建一个二元分类器，使用标签 A+B 和标签 C 对示例进行分类。然后，您可以创建第二个二元分类器，使用标签 A 和标签 B 重新对标记为 A+B 的示例进行分类。

If each example can only be\nassigned to one class, then the classification problem can be handled as a\nbinary classification problem, where one class contains one of the multiple\nclasses, and the other class contains all the other classes put together.\nThe process can then be repeated for each of the original classes.\n\nFor example, in a three-class multi-class classification problem,\nwhere you're classifying examples with the labels **A** , **B** , and\n**C** , you could turn the problem into two separate binary classification\nproblems. First, you might create a binary classifier that categorizes examples\nusing the label **A+B** and the label **C** . Then, you could create a second\nbinary classifier that reclassifies the examples that are labeled **A+B**\nusing the label **A** and the label **B**.\n\nAn example of a multi-class problem is a handwriting classifier that takes\nan image of a handwritten digit and decides which digit, 0-9, is represented.\n\nIf class membership isn't exclusive, which is to say, an example can be\nassigned to multiple classes, this is known as a *multi-label* classification\nproblem.\n| Multi-class classification is explored more deeply in the [Multi-class neural networks](/machine-learning/crash-course/neural-networks/multi-class) section of the [Neural Networks](/machine-learning/crash-course/neural-networks) module.\n| **Key terms:**\n|\n- [Binary classification](/machine-learning/glossary#binary_classification) \n[Help Center](https://support.google.com/machinelearningeducation)"]]
