How to tell the learner type of machine learning models


It is my first time to use Azure Machine Learning...

When I have trained 2 models using the same training data and testing data, when it comes to evaluate model, it shows error

All models must have the same learner type

Do you know what is "learner type" of machine learning models and how to tell the learner type of a model?

Below is the screenshot of my basic practice on Azure Machine Learning:

Solution

  • The models you compare should be of the same type - binary classification, regression, multi-class classification etc. For example, you can't compare effectiveness of linear regression to the effectiveness of logistics regression. They solve absolutely different tasks.

    This is the case for you - you try to compare linear regression (which outputs real value) with the multiclass decision forest, which tries to classify input to some class.
