Naïve Bayes classifier is a ML algorithm based on Bayes' theorem. The algorithm is comparable to how a belief system evolves. Bayes' theorem was initially introduced by an English mathematician, Thomas Bayes, in 1776. This algorithm has various applications, and has been used for many historic tasks for more than two centuries. One of the most famous applications of this algorithm was by Alan Turing during the Second World War, where he used Bayes' theorem to decrypt the German Enigma code. Bayes' theorem has also found an important place in ML for algorithms such as Bayesian Net and Naive Bayes algorithm. The Naïve Bayes algorithm is very popular for ML due to its low complexity and transparency regarding why it makes the prediction.

Overview of this book
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is constantly driving new innovations that empower data scientists to explore a variety of machine learning (ML) cloud services. This book is your comprehensive reference for learning and implementing advanced ML algorithms in AWS cloud.
As you go through the chapters, you’ll gain insights into how these algorithms can be trained, tuned, and deployed in AWS using Apache Spark on Elastic Map Reduce (EMR), SageMaker, and TensorFlow. While you focus on algorithms such as XGBoost, linear models, factorization machines, and deep nets, the book will also provide you with an overview of AWS as well as detailed practical applications that will help you solve real-world problems. Every application includes a series of companion notebooks with all the necessary code to run on AWS. In the next few chapters, you will learn to use SageMaker and EMR Notebooks to perform a range of tasks, right from smart analytics and predictive modeling through to sentiment analysis.
By the end of this book, you will be equipped with the skills you need to effectively handle machine learning projects and implement and evaluate algorithms on AWS.
