New 'ndscape' tool maps nested dichotomy structures for multiclass classification

Researchers have developed "ndscape," a novel two-dimensional mapping system designed to visualize the vast space of nested dichotomy structures used in multiclass classification problems. This embedding allows for the first comprehensive analysis of bias and variance across different nested dichotomy structures, regardless of the underlying binary classifier, such as logistic regression or decision trees. The study found that tree structures with similar embeddings exhibit similar performance metrics, and current construction heuristics do not consistently select the best-performing structures, suggesting ndscape can guide more informed choices in multiclass classification.
