BernoulliNB

Bernoulli Naive Bayes.

Bernoulli Naive Bayes model learns from occurrences between features such as word counts and discrete classes. The input vector must contain positive values, such as counts or TF-IDF values.

Parameters

  • alpha

    Default1.0

    Additive (Laplace/Lidstone) smoothing parameter (use 0 for no smoothing).

  • true_threshold

    Default0.0

    Threshold for binarizing (mapping to booleans) features.

Attributes

  • class_counts (collections.Counter)

    Number of times each class has been seen.

  • feature_counts (collections.defaultdict)

    Total frequencies per feature and class.

Examples

import pandas as pd
from river import compose
from river import feature_extraction
from river import naive_bayes

docs = [
    ("Chinese Beijing Chinese", "yes"),
    ("Chinese Chinese Shanghai", "yes"),
    ("Chinese Macao", "yes"),
    ("Tokyo Japan Chinese", "no")
]

model = compose.Pipeline(
    ("tokenize", feature_extraction.BagOfWords(lowercase=False)),
    ("nb", naive_bayes.BernoulliNB(alpha=1))
)

for sentence, label in docs:
    model = model.learn_one(sentence, label)

model["nb"].p_class("yes")
0.75
model["nb"].p_class("no")
0.25

model.predict_proba_one("test")
{'yes': 0.8831539823829913, 'no': 0.11684601761700895}

model.predict_one("test")
'yes'

You can train the model and make predictions in mini-batch mode using the class methods learn_many and predict_many.

df_docs = pd.DataFrame(docs, columns = ["docs", "y"])

X = pd.Series([
   "Chinese Beijing Chinese",
   "Chinese Chinese Shanghai",
   "Chinese Macao",
   "Tokyo Japan Chinese"
])

y = pd.Series(["yes", "yes", "yes", "no"])

model = compose.Pipeline(
    ("tokenize", feature_extraction.BagOfWords(lowercase=False)),
    ("nb", naive_bayes.BernoulliNB(alpha=1))
)

model = model.learn_many(X, y)

unseen = pd.Series(["Taiwanese Taipei", "Chinese Shanghai"])

model.predict_proba_many(unseen)
         no       yes
0  0.116846  0.883154
1  0.047269  0.952731

model.predict_many(unseen)
0    yes
1    yes
