Description

We have info on all evaluation measures here:
https://www.openml.org/search?q=%2520measure_type%3Aevaluation_measure&type=measure
and on task types here:
https://www.openml.org/search?type=task_type

It would be nice to have an overview on which evaluation measures can be used for which task types. This should probably be defined somewhere already, we just need to transform it into something human readable. Where do I find that info?

I think we need this for the intro to ML for data owners (see draft).
