Weighted Local Naive Bayes Link Prediction

Locally Weighted Naive Bayes

Despite its simplicity, the naive Bayes classifier has surprised machine learning researchers by exhibiting good performance on a variety of learning problems. Encouraged by these results, researchers have looked to overcome naive Bayes’ primary weakness—attribute independence—and improve the performance of the algorithm. This paper presents a locally weighted version of naive Bayes that relaxe...

Instance Cloning Local Naive Bayes

The instance-based k-nearest neighbor algorithm (KNN)[1] is an effective classification model. Its classification is simply based on a vote within the neighborhood, consisting of k nearest neighbors of the test instance. Recently, researchers have been interested in deploying a more sophisticated local model, such as naive Bayes, within the neighborhood. It is expected that there are no strong ...

Locally Weighted Learning for Naive Bayes Classifier

As a consequence of the strong and usually violated conditional independence assumption (CIA) of naive Bayes (NB) classifier, the performance of NB becomes less and less favorable compared to sophisticated classifiers when the sample size increases. We learn from this phenomenon that when the size of the training data is large, we should either relax the assumption or apply NB to a “reduced” da...

Link prediction in complex networks: a local naïve Bayes model

Common-neighbor-based method is simple yet effective to predict missing links, which assume that two nodes are more likely to be connected if they have more common neighbors. In such method, each common neighbor of two nodes contributes equally to the connection likelihood. In this Letter, we argue that different common neighbors may play different roles and thus lead to different contributions...
