Here we create `PyTorchMLPRegressor` that implements the `fit` method. The `fit` method specifies the training building blocks: model, optimizer, criterion, and trainer. We inherit both `BasePyTorchRegressor` and `BasePyTorchModel` (a parent of `BasePyTorchRegressor`). The former implements the `predict` method that suits our regression task. The latter implements the `train` method.

??? Note "Setting Class Names for Classifiers"
When using classifiers, the user must declare the class names (or targets) by overriding the `IFreqaiModel.class_names` attribute. This is achieved by setting `self.freqai.class_names` in the FreqAI strategy inside the `set_freqai_targets` method.
For example, if you are using a binary classifier to predict price movements as up or down, you can set the class names as follows:
```python
def set_freqai_targets(self, dataframe: DataFrame, metadata: Dict, **kwargs):
self.freqai.class_names = ["down", "up"]
dataframe['&s-up_or_down'] = np.where(dataframe["close"].shift(-100) >
dataframe["close"], 'up', 'down')
return dataframe
```
To see a full example, you can refer to the [classifier test strategy class](https://github.com/freqtrade/freqtrade/blob/develop/tests/strategy/strats/freqai_test_classifier.py).
