MultinomialNB

Naive Bayes classifier for multinomial models.

Multinomial 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

  Default → 1.0

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

Attributes

• class_dist (proba.Multinomial)

  Class prior probability distribution.

• feature_counts (collections.defaultdict)

  Total frequencies per feature and class.

• class_totals (collections.Counter)

  Total frequencies per 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", "maybe"),
    ("Tokyo Japan Chinese", "no")
]

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

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

model["nb"].p_class("yes")

0.5

model["nb"].p_class("no")

0.25

model["nb"].p_class("maybe")

0.25

model.predict_proba_one("test")

{'yes': 0.413, 'maybe': 0.310, 'no': 0.275}

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", "maybe", "no"])

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

model = model.learn_many(X, y)

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

model.predict_proba_many(unseen)

      maybe        no       yes
0  0.373272  0.294931  0.331797
1  0.160396  0.126733  0.712871

model.predict_many(unseen)

0    maybe
1      yes
dtype: object
