What is probabilistic graphical interpretation of Naïve Bayes?
Updated May 17, 2026
Short answer
Naïve Bayes is a Bayesian network where all features are conditionally independent given the class node.
Deep explanation
In graphical model terms, Naïve Bayes is a star-shaped Bayesian network with a single parent node (class label) and independent child nodes (features). This structure encodes conditional independence assumptions explicitly and simplifies inference dramatically.
