I am working on a project with image classification with 5 different classes and I was wondering if categorical classification can be used as a synonym for multi-class classification.
PS. Forgive me for the naive question

Yeah, the answer is as simple as :
Binary Classification means only 2 targets to find.
Multilabel / Multiclass / Multinomial Classification means more than 2 targets to find.
In Supervised Learning, you will have :
- Classification (class of 0, 1 etc..)
- Regression (continuous values 84.2, 105.8 etc..)
Categorical and class means the same and are the opposite of Regression which are continuous variables
You can find example on https://scikit-learn.org/stable/supervised_learning.html#supervised-learning
