Is it better to keep your classification classes as low a s possible

Part 1 (2018)

I was thinking if it’s better to deal with less number of classes for classification. For example if designing a model for classifying male, female and organizations. Will it better to firstly design a model for individual/organizations classification and then classifying individuals as female/male OR designing a model to classify all three classes together.

Generally best to classify all together. But you could experiment and do a little writeup on what you find! :slight_smile:
