Background
•
There are three methods to establish a classifier
a) Model a classification rule directly
Examples: k-NN, decision trees, perceptron, SVM
b) Model the probability of class memberships given input data
Example: perceptron with the cross-entropy cost
c) Make a probabilistic model of data within each class
Examples: naive Bayes, model based classifiers
a) and b) are examples of discriminative classification
• c) is an example of generative classification
• b) and c) are both examples of probabilistic classification

Probability Basics
•
Prior, conditional and joint probability for random variables
– Prior probability: P(X)
– Conditional probability: P(X1 |X2 ), P(X2 |X1 )
– Joint probability: X  (X1 , X2 ), P(X)  P(X1 ,X2 )
– Relationship: P(X1 ,X2 )  P(X2 |X1 )P(X1 )  P(X1 |X2 )P(X2 )
– Independence: P(X2 |X1 )  P(X2 ), P(X1 |X2 )  P(X1 ), P(X1 ,X2 )  P(X1 )P(X2 )

Probabilistic Classification

MAP classification rule
– MAP: Maximum A Posterior
– Assign x to c* if
P(C  c * |X  x)  P(C  c |X  x) c  c * , c  c1 ,  , c L
•
Generative classification with the MAP rule
– Apply Bayesian rule to convert them into posterior probabilities
P( X  x |C  ci )P(C  ci )
P(C  ci |X  x) 
P( X  x)
 P( X  x |C  ci )P(C  ci )
for i  1,2 ,  , L
– Then apply the MAP rule

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

Relevant Issues
•
Violation of Independence Assumption
– For many real world tasks, P(X1 ,  , Xn |C)  P(X1 |C)    P(Xn |C)
– Nevertheless, naïve Bayes works surprisingly well anyway!
•
Zero conditional probability Problem
– If no example contains the attribute value X j  a jk , Pˆ ( X j  a jk |C  ci )  0
– In this circumstance, Pˆ ( x1 |ci )    Pˆ ( a jk |ci )    Pˆ ( xn |ci )  0 during test
– For a remedy, conditional probabilities estimated with
n  mp
Pˆ ( X j  a jk |C  ci )  c
nm
nc : numberof trainingexamplesfor w hichX j  a jk and C  ci
n : numberof trainingexamplesfor w hichC  ci
p : prior estimate(usually,p  1 / t for t possiblevalues of X j )
m : w eight to prior(numberof " virtual"examples, m  1)

Summary
•
Naïve Bayes: the conditional 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 estimated 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
– A good candidate of a base learner in ensemble learning
– Apart from classification, naïve Bayes can do more…
