Naive Bayes (VDO Playlist)

1. Naive Bayes Classifier: Bayes Theorem, A Maximum Posterior Hypothesis

Learn Bayes Theorem and Maximum Posterior Hypothesis. When you know some fact, find the hypothesis matches that fact.

2. Naive Bayes: An ATK Example

Learn an example using the "Real World Maximum Posterior Hypothesis". However, you have to think about the case of P(covid19) of the population and how does this probability change if you decide to take the test. If you decide to take the test, it means that your chance to be the covid19 class is much highter than the P(covid19).

3. Naive Bayes Classifier

Learn the concept of Naive Bayes Classifier. Try to understand the example shown in the VDO. 

4. Text Classification Using Naive Bayes

Learn the steps of applying the Naive Bayes Classifier to classify text. 

5. Source Code Explanation

You should be able to apply the source code to attack your real problem.
