Semi-Naive Bayesian Classification

Date and time:

Abstract:
The success and popularity of naive Bayes has led to a field of research exploring algorithms that seek to retain its attractive strengths while enhancing accuracy by relaxing the attribute conditional independence assumption. This talk will analyse strengths and weaknesses of previous techniques, which we call semi-naive Bayesian methods, and present algorithms that compete favourably with state-of-the-art semi-naïve Bayesian methods.
