8 Example • Test Phase –Given a new instance x’, P(Play =Yes|x’) ? P(Play = No|x’) x’=(Outlook=Sunny, Temperature=Cool, Humidity=High, Wind=Strong) – Look up tables – MAP rule P(Outlook=Sunny|Play=No) = 3/5 P(Temperature=Cool|Play==No) = 1/5 P(Huminity=High|Play=No) = 4/5 P(Wind=Strong|Play=No) = 3/5 P(Play=No) = 5/14 P(Outlook=Sunny|Play=Yes) = 2/9 P(Temperature=Cool|Play=Yes) = 3/9 P(Huminity=High|Play=Yes) = 3/9 P(Wind=Strong|Play=Yes) = 3/9 P(Play=Yes) = 9/14 P(Play=Yes|x’): [P(Sunny|Yes)P(Cool|Yes)P(High|Yes)P(Strong|Yes)]P(Play=Yes) = 0.0053 P(Play=No|x’): [P(Sunny|No) P(Cool|No)P(High|No)P(Strong|No)]P(Play=No) = 0.0206 Given the fact P(Play =Yes|x’) < P(Play = No|x’), we label x’ to be “No”.

9 Relevant Issues • Violationof Independence Assumption – For many real world tasks, – Nevertheless, naïve Bayes works surprisingly well anyway! • Zero conditional probability Problem – If no example contains the attribute value – In this circumstance, during test – For a remedy, conditional probabilities estimated with Laplace smoothing: ) | ( ) | ( ) | , , ( 1 1 C X P C X P C X X P n n 0 ) | ( ˆ , i jk j jk j c C a X P a X 0 ) | ( ˆ ) | ( ˆ ) | ( ˆ 1 i n i jk i c x P c a P c x P ) 1 examples, virtual" " of (number prior to weight : ) of values possible for / 1 (usually, estimate prior : which for examples training of number : C and which for examples training of number : ) | ( ˆ m m X t t p p c C n c a X n m n mp n c C a X P j i i jk j c c i jk j

11 Conclusions • Naïve Bayesbased on the independence assumption – Training is very easy and fast; just requiring considering each attribute in each class separately – Test is straightforward; just looking up tables or calculating conditional probabilities with normal distributions • A popular generative model – Performance competitive to most of state-of-the-art classifiers even in presence of violating independence assumption – Many successful applications, e.g., spam mail filtering – Apart from classification, naïve Bayes can do more…

Homework 1. Compute P(Play=Yes|x’)and P(Play=No|x’) with m=0 and with m=1 for x’=(Outlook=Overcast, Temperature=Cool, Humidity=High, Wind=Strong) Does the result change? 12 2. Your training data contains 100 emails with the following statistics: •60 of those 100 emails (60%) are spam 48 of those 60 emails (80%) that are spam have the word "buy" 42 of those 60 emails (70%) that are spam have the word "win" •40 of those 100 emails (40%) aren't spam 4 of those 40 emails (10%) that aren't spam have the word "buy" 6 of those 40 emails (15%) that aren't spam have the word "win" A new email has been received and it has the words "buy" and "win". Classify it and send it to either to the inbox or to the spam folder. For this you need to compute P(spam=1 | buy=1, win=1) and P(spam=0 | buy=1, win=1), where we interpret spam, buy, and win as binary random variables such that spam=1 means that the email is a spam, spam=0 means that it is not a spam, buy=1 means that the word “buy” is present in the email, and similarly for win=1. You need to write the formulas you are using. (Here m=0.)
