Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: Logistic regression and backpropagation.
Why:
Logistic regression: a supervised classification algorithm used to predict discrete class labels (commonly binary), modeling class probabilities.
Backpropagation: an optimization/training algorithm for neural networks; neural networks trained via backpropagation are commonly applied to classification tasks, so backpropagation is associated with building classifiers.
Linear regression: a regression algorithm that predicts continuous numeric values and is not a classification method.
Conclusion: The algorithms related to classification in the list are logistic regression and backpropagation (used to train classifiers). Linear regression is for continuous outputs and should not be counted as a classification algorithm.
