Another benefitof this class of model is the explainability of the generated rule sets. When making predictionsthat will directly affect students, one must be able to explain why they were targeted foradditional learning resources or for possible remedial work. Explainability becomes more crucialwhen model predictions are expanded beyond grades.On the other hand, the Multi-Output or Multi-Label Classifier is a machine learning modelspecifically designed for multi-label or multi-output classification tasks, where each instance canbe linked to multiple labels or output variables.
