$\frac{P(x_1 \mid y, s = 1) \dots P(x_n \mid y, s = 1) P(y \mid s = 1)}{P(x \mid s = 1)}$ indicates that naive Bayes learners are global learners?
I am currently studying the paper Learning and Evaluating Classifiers under Sample Selection Bias by Bianca Zadrozny. In section 3. Learning under sample selection bias, the author says the following:

Why do Bayesian algorithms work well with small datasets?
I read very often that Bayesian algorithms work well on small datasets. Why is that? I think it is because they might generalize more, but why is that?
See also Investigating the use of Bayesian ...

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 ...

What to do when PDFs are not Gaussian/Normal in Naive Bayes Classifier
While analyzing the data for a given problem set, I came across a few distributions which are not Gaussian in nature. They are not even uniform or Gamma distributions(so that I can write a function, ...

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 ...

How to add pseudocounts to naive Bayes classifier?
I'm trying classify a document containing words $[x_i...x_n]$ as spam or non-spam, using this equation from Wikipedia:
$$p(spam|x_i,...,x_n) = p(spam)\prod^n_{i=1}p(x_i|spam)$$
But I'm confused about ...

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 ...
