I actually really like doing text classification using Naive Bayes. I'm still new to it and still learning a lot. But one thing I'm having a hard time answering is explaining Naive Bayes classification in simple terms.
If that was asked to you, how can you explain Naive Bayes classification in simple terms?
- yen223 12y agoI know a lot of spam has the word "Viagra", and very few legitimate emails have the word "Viagra". So if an email contains the word "Viagra", it's more likely to be spam. Naive Bayes classification just applies that to all words in all your emails.
- rasbt 12y agoI like this simple and intuitive explanation. Hm, maybe a short mentioning of the "a priori" knowledge would be also worthwhile!
