Building Naive Bayes from scratch with Python and NumPy

I'm committing to building popular ML algorithms from scratch daily without using anything but Python built-ins and NumPy. No sklearn. No shortcuts. Just pure code and first principles. Day 4: Naive Bayes ✅ Naive Bayes intuition is simple: imagine you receive an email with the words "free", "win", and "prize". What's the probability it's spam? That's exactly what Naive Bayes does. It uses Bayes Theorem to calculate the probability of each class given the input features, and picks the most likely one. The "Naive" part? It assumes all features are independent of each other. That's rarely true in real life, but surprisingly, it still works really well. This is fully open if you want to collaborate, add an algorithm, or drop a suggestion in the comments or issues tab. Feel free to do so. 🤝 👉 GitHub: https://lnkd.in/duTd7jie #MachineLearning #Python #NumPy #DataScience #OpenSource #LearnML #100DaysOfCode #NaiveBayes #Classification
