A set of documents that need to be classified, use the Naive Bayesian Classifier

The Naive Bayes Classifier is a probabilistic machine learning model widely used for classification tasks, including document classification. Based on Bayes' Theorem, it assumes that the features (in this case, words or terms in the documents) are conditionally independent given the class label. Despite this "naive" assumption, it often performs well in practice, especially for text classification.

Steps to Perform Document Classification Using Naive Bayes

1. Prepare the Dataset

  • Documents: Assume you have a set of documents, each labeled with a category (e.g., "Sports", "Politics", "Technology").

  • Preprocessing:

    • Tokenize the text into words.

    • Remove stop words (e.g., "the", "is", "and").

    • Perform stemming or lemmatization to reduce words to their base forms.

    • Convert text into a numerical representation, such as a bag-of-words or TF-IDF vector.

2. Split the Dataset

  • Divide the dataset into a training set and a test set (e.g., 80% training, 20% testing).

3. Train the Naive Bayes Model

  • Use the training data to train the Naive Bayes Classifier.

  • The model calculates:

    • Prior probabilities: The probability of each class P(C).

    • Likelihood probabilities: The probability of each word given a class P(W∣C).

4. Make Predictions

  • For a new document, the model calculates the posterior probability for each class P(C∣W) using Bayes' Theorem:

    P(C∣W)=P(W∣C)⋅P(C)P(W)

  • The class with the highest posterior probability is assigned to the document.

5. Evaluate the Model

  • Use the test set to evaluate the model's performance.

  • Common metrics include accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score.

DBSCAN

DBSCAN (Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise) is a popular density-based clustering algorithm that groups data points based on their density in feature space. It’s beneficial for datasets with clusters of varying shapes, sizes, and densities, and can identify noise or outliers. Step 1: Initialize Parameters Define two important parameters: Epsilon (ε) : The maximum distance between two points for them to be considered neighbors. Minimum Points (minPts) : The minimum number of points required in an ε-radius neighborhood for a point to be considered a core point. Step 2: Label Each Point as Core, Border, or Noise For each data point P P P in the dataset: Find all points within the ε radius of P P P (the ε-neighborhood of P P P ). Core Point : If P P P has at least minPts points within its ε-neighborhood, it’s marked as a core point. Border Point : If P P P has fewer than minPts points in its ε-neighborhood but is within the ε-neighborhood of a core point, it’...

Gaussian Mixture Model

A Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) is a probabilistic model used for clustering and density estimation. It assumes that data is generated from a mixture of several Gaussian distributions, each representing a cluster within the dataset. Unlike K-means, which assigns data points to the nearest cluster centroid deterministically, GMM considers each data point as belonging to each cluster with a certain probability, allowing for soft clustering. GMM is ideal when: Clusters have elliptical shapes or different spreads : GMM captures varying shapes and densities, unlike K-means, which assumes clusters are spherical. Soft clustering is preferred : If you want to know the probability of a data point belonging to each cluster (not a hard assignment). Data has overlapping clusters : GMM allows a point to belong partially to multiple clusters, which is helpful when clusters have significant overlap. Applications of GMM Image Segmentation : Used to segment images into regions, where each region can be...
