        * 'continuous-multioutput': `y` is a 2d array of floats that are
          not all integers, and both dimensions are of size > 1.
        * 'binary': `y` contains <= 2 discrete values and is 1d or a column
          vector.
        * 'multiclass': `y` contains more than two discrete values, is not a
          sequence of sequences, and is 1d or a column vector.
        * 'multiclass-multioutput': `y` is a 2d array that contains more
          than two discrete values, is not a sequence of sequences, and both
          dimensions are of size > 1.
        * 'multilabel-indicator': `y` is a label indicator matrix, an array
          of two dimensions with at least two columns, and at most 2 unique
          values.
        * 'unknown': `y` is array-like but none of the above, such as a 3d
          array, sequence of sequences, or an array of non-sequence objects.
