Regularized Naive Bayes
Regularized Naive Bayes augments the classical Naive Bayes probabilistic classifier with explicit smoothing or shrinkage — most commonly Laplace (additive) smoothing — to prevent zero-probability estimates for unseen feature values and to reduce overfitting. The result is a fast, robust classifier that generalizes better than unsmoothed Naive Bayes, particularly on sparse or high-dimensional data such as text.

Curated claims
Claims persisted in the evidence ledger, each with its own assessment.
This view does not invent a claim assessment when the ledger has none.
