information retrieval,
In Claire Nédellec and Céline Rouveirol eds., Proceedings of the Tenth European Conference on Machine
Learning,
Chemnitz, Germany, pp. 4-15, April 1998.The naive Bayes classifier, currently experiencing a renaissance in machine learning, has long been a core technique in information retrieval. We review some of the variations of naive Bayes models used for text retrieval and classification, focusing on the distributional assumptions made about word occurrences in documents.
