naive-bayes

Naive Bayes is a classification algorithm based on Bayes' theorem. It is simple and fast, and it is often used as a baseline for comparison with other more complex algorithms.

This use a probabilistic approach (Bayes' theorem) to classify data. It assumes that the presence of a particular feature in a class is unrelated to the presence of any other feature.

Examples:

  • Spam detection
  • Sentiment analysis
  • Document classification

The result of the algorithm is a table of probabilities that can be used to make predictions.
