Video Tutorial: Naive Bayes Classifiers

This article is originally published at https://chemicalstatistician.wordpress.com

Naive Bayes classifiers are simple but powerful tools for classification in statistics and machine learning.  In this video tutorial, I use a simulated data set and illustrate the mathematical details of how this technique works.

In my recent episode on The Central Equilibrium about word embeddings and text classification, Mandy Gu used naive Bayes classifiers to determine if a sentence is toxic or non-toxic – a very common objective when moderating discussions in online forums.  If you are not familiar with naive Bayes classifiers, then I encourage you to watch this video first before watching Mandy’s episode on The Central Equilibrium.
