Naive Bayes

Fact

A classification method that treats each feature as separate when choosing a class.

In Plain Words

Naive Bayes is like a spam bouncer at a club. It counts each sketchy word, then pretends those words never met.

You meet it in spam filters and text sorting. It is fast and cheap, but linked clues can fool it.
