Naive Bayes as a Satisficing Model
نویسنده
چکیده
We report on an empirical study of supervised learning algorithms that induce models to resolve the meaning of ambiguous words in text. We find that the Naive Bayesian classifier is as accurate as several more sophisticated methods. This is a surprising result since Naive Bayes makes simplifying assumptions about disambiguation that are not realistic. However, our results correspond to a growing body of evidence that Naive Bayes acts as a satisficing model in a wide range of domains. We suggest that bias variance decompositions of classification error can be used to identify and develop satisficing models.

A New Approach for Text Documents Classification with Invasive Weed Optimization and Naive Bayes Classifier
With the fast increase of the documents, using Text Document Classification (TDC) methods has become a crucial matter. This paper presented a hybrid model of Invasive Weed Optimization (IWO) and Naive Bayes (NB) classifier (IWO-NB) for Feature Selection (FS) in order to reduce the big size of features space in TDC. TDC includes different actions such as text processing, feature extraction, form...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Pulmonary Tuberculosis Using Artificial Intelligence (Naive Bayes Algorithm)
Background and Aim: Despite the implementation of effective preventive and therapeutic programs, no significant success has been achieved in the reduction of tuberculosis. One of the reasons is the delay in diagnosis. Therefore, the creation of a diagnostic aid system can help to diagnose early Tuberculosis. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the role of the Naive Bayes algorithm as a...
متن کاملA simple Bayes factor for testing measurement-theoretic axioms
A lot of models used to represent preferences or other relations have been characterized in the framework of measurement theory. To assess the empirical validity of one of these models, we can either test the model itself or test the axioms characterizing it. When a model is rejected, the latter approach has the advantage of indicating why it is rejected. The available statistical techniques fo...
