We propose a measure to compute class similarity in large-scale classification based on prediction scores. Such measure has not been formally pro-posed in the literature. We show how visualizing the class similarity matrix can reveal hierarchical structures and relationships that govern the classes. Through examples with various classifiers, we demonstrate how such structures can help in analyzing the classification behavior and in inferring potential corner cases. The source code for one example is available as a notebook at https://github.com/bilalsal/blocks
