What Is ‘naive’ in the Naive Bayes Classifier?
Course Name: Machine Learning

    Solution: 1.

    The classifier is called ‘naive’ because it makes assumptions that may or may not be correct.
    The algorithm assumes that the presence of one feature of a class is not related to the presence of any other feature.
    For instance, a fruit may be considered to be a cherry if it is red in color and round in shape, regardless of other features. This assumption may or may not be right (as an apple also matches the description).
