What is the key idea behind Bayesian classification?
- Assuming that the features follow a Gaussian (normal) distribution within each class
- Modeling the probability distribution of word occurrences in each class
- Calculating the probability that a given data instance belongs to each class and then assigning the instance to the class with the highest probability (correct)
