There's been a couple of times where I needed to classify a large set of web pages and used a Bayes classifier.
I would start to get misclassified pages and it was so difficult to diagnose as to why these misclassifications were occurring. Bad examples? Bad counter examples? Wrong algorithm for the job? Ugh.
I ended up writing a set of rules. It wasn't fancy but at the end of the day, I understood the exact criteria for each classification and they were easily adjustable.
- hood_syntax 10y agoThe best thing to do is compare your results to a widely known dataset with information about the accuracy rate for what you implemented. That will give you a baseline to figure out what, if anything, is going wrong. > Wrong algorithm? Almost certainly not, Bayes is a very solid classification technique.
