relabeling
Changing the designation
Relabeling is the act of changing or replacing labels on something.
Products get relabeled when packaging updates or when sold under a different brand.
In data science, relabeling means assigning new categories to data points: We spent hours relabeling the training images.
Figuratively, relabeling reframes how something is perceived without changing its substance: Critics accused the administration of relabeling budget cuts as efficiency measures.
Also spelled relabelling.
