A naive Bayes is an algorithm that uses Bayes' theorem to classify objects.

Naïve Bayes is also known as a probabilistic classifier since it is based on Bayes’ Theorem. It would be difficult to explain this algorithm without explaining the basics of Bayesian statistics. This theorem, also known as Bayes’ Rule, allows us to “invert” conditional probabilities. As a...
a Naive Bayes classifier will converge quicker than discriminative models like logistic regression, so you need less training data. And even if the NB assumption doesn't hold, a NB classifier still often performs surprisingly well in practice....
” the index in the output vector with the highest value as the class label. That’s fine if we are only interested in the class label prediction. Now, if we want “meaningful” class probabilities, that is, class probabilities that sum up to 1, we could use the softmax function (aka...
Naive Bayes is a supervised machine learning algorithm. As the name implies it’s based on Bayes theorem. In this post, you will discover what’s happening behind the Naive Bayes classifier when you are dealing with continuous predictor variables. Here I have used R language for coding. Let ...
“master algorithm:” backpropagation Evolutionaries whereas connectionism is about fine-tuning the brain, evolution is about creating the brain “master algorithm:” genetic programming Bayesians based on probabilistic inference, i.e., incorporating a priori knowledge: certain outcomes are more likely ...
A support vector machine (SVM) is asupervised machine learningalgorithm that classifies data by finding an optimal line or hyperplane that maximizes the distance between each class in an N-dimensional space. SVMs were developed in the 1990s by Vladimir N. Vapnik and his colleagues, and they publ...
Then, we would build classifiers on top of this training set, and once the learning is done we will try to predict the values on top of the test set and see whether the prediction is correct. Now, we will start off by implementing the Naïve Bayes classifier and train it on top of...
One of the best-known algorithms in this category is the Naive Bayes algorithm.Naive Bayes is a type of machine-learning classifier based on applying Bayes' theorem while assuming that the features in the input data are all independent (a strong, or "naive" assumption, which is where the ...
Some of the algorithms dealing with classification are Naive Bayes Classifier (NBC), Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN), etc. Clustering These tools are helpful to cluster a set of data into groups based on its similarities. The clustering process is unsupervised and ...
