Etymology

The term 'relabelling' is derived from the prefix 're-', which means 'again' or 'back', and 'label', which originates from the Old French word 'label' meaning 'a small piece of paper, cloth, or other material that is attached to something to give information about it'. The combination suggests an action of labeling again or modifying the existing labels. As data science and machine learning have evolved, relabelling has become a critical process, especially in the context of supervised learning where the quality of the labels directly affects the model's ability to learn from data. The concept is widely used in various sectors including marketing, healthcare, and IT, as organizations tailor their data processes to meet specific goals and improve accuracy.
