How does Naïve Bayes relate to posterior regularization frameworks?
Updated May 17, 2026
Short answer
Posterior regularization constrains Naïve Bayes posterior distributions to satisfy additional structural or domain constraints.
Deep explanation
Posterior regularization modifies Bayesian inference by enforcing constraints on posterior distributions, such as sparsity, fairness, or entropy bounds. In Naïve Bayes, this can adjust P(C|X) after computation to satisfy external requirements while preserving generative structure.
