Sintesi	Bayesian Naive Bayes applies a fully Bayesian treatment to the parameters of the classic Naive Bayes classifier: instead of estimating class-conditional distributions by maximum likelihood, it places conjugate priors (typically Dirichlet for categorical data or Gaussian-Gamma for continuous data) over the parameters and integrates them out, producing predictive posterior distributions that naturally quantify uncertainty and avoid overfitting on small datasets.	A Gaussian Process (GP) is a non-parametric, fully probabilistic machine learning model that places a prior distribution directly over functions. Rather than predicting a single value, it returns a predictive mean and a calibrated uncertainty estimate at every test point, making it especially valuable for regression on small to medium datasets and for Bayesian optimization tasks.
