Hi there,

I'm following this guide to try the AuotML classification out, when set the classification up, there is one field called "Positive class label" , I'm wondering what is it and any example of how to use it?

I tried searching but seems like no documentation nor example.

Thanks,

Henry

Otherwise AutoML will pick a positive class based on target column that is set while configuring the job. This is used to calculate binary metrics that is selected on this page as mentioned in screen shot below:
