I think we have to treat it as a multi-label problem as there are multiple diseases in a single sample. currently i have found the following labels…<br>\nlabel_names=['healthy', 'scab', 'frog_eye_leaf_spot', 'cider_apple_rust', 'complex', 'powdery_mildew', 'rust']</p>\n<p>These are the 7 labels and the dataset contains either individual labels or their combination. So instead of another dedicated class for combination of diseases like in the 2020 dataset and hence would act as multiclass, but this time it is more detailed hence it is multilabel.</p>",
