Multi-class classification vs binary classification

[Slamskow (Sofia Derft)]

Why does turning a binary classification problem into a 2-class multi-class classification problem lead to better performance?

Hi Sofia!

@Slamskow

Why does turning a binary classification problem into a 2-class multi-class classification problem lead to better performance?

I don’t believe that it does. Do you have contrary experience?

Best.
