Naive Bayes

Naive Bayes is different from many other machine learning algorithms. Most machine learning techniques try to evaluate the probability of a certain event, Y , and given conditions, X, which we denote with . For example, when we are given a picture that represents digits (that is, a picture with a certain distribution of pixels), what is the probability that the number is five? If the pixel's distribution is close to the pixel distribution of other examples that were labeled as five, the probability of that event will be high. If not, the probability will be low.

Sometimes we have the opposite information, given the fact that we ...
