Constraint satisfaction consistency preprocessing methods are used to reduce search e ort. Time and especially space costs limit the amount of preprocessing that will be cost e ec...
Recent work in supervised learning has shown that a surprisingly simple Bayesian classifier with strong assumptions of independence among features, called naive Bayes, is competit...
