Noun: probabilistic classifier
  1. (machine learning) a classifier that is able to predict, given a sample input, a probability distribution over a set of classes, rather than only outputting the most likely class that the sample should belong to.
    "Probabilistic classifiers provide classification with a degree of certainty, which can be useful in its own right, or when combining classifiers into ensembles."
