This example will predict whether a given text carries a negative or positive connotation. Before this can be done, we need to train our algorithm (model) with some data.
The naive Bayes model is suited for text classification purposes. Algorithms based on naive Bayes models are generally fast and produce accurate results. The whole model is based on the assumption that features are independent from each other. To accurately predict the occurrence of rainfall, three conditions need to be considered. These are wind ...
