Why do I get small probabilities when implementing a multinomial naive Bayes text classification model?
When applying multinomial Naive Bayes text classification, I get very small probabilities (around $10e^{-48}$), so there's no way for me to know which classes are valid predictions and which ones are ...

Why don't ensembling, bagging and boosting help to improve accuracy of Naive bayes classifier?
You might think to apply some classifier combination techniques like ensembling, bagging and boosting but these methods would not help. Actually, “ensembling, boosting, bagging” won’t help since their ...

Are there any examples of state-of-the-art NLP applications that are still n-gram based and use Naive Bayes?
As far as I can tell, most NLP tasks today use word embeddings and recurrent networks or transformers.
Are there any examples of state-of-the-art NLP applications that are still n-gram based and use ...

How to build naive bayes graph from data
For an university assignment I have to use the HuginLite software to do some probabilistic inferences with different algorithms.
One of these algorithms is Naive Bayes but its graph is not built ...
