[@08ae6013]

This is the best explanation of Naive Baye’s & Baye’s theorem ... you rocked it ... Thanks for this

[@TissonCompany]

Great Video!

[@Adenosene]

This is explained so well, this video is so beautiful that I want to cry

[@milanico2309]

same here

[@OzScout66]

I am crying as I type this line...... *snif* .....so good !

[@ichallengemydog]

The two people who disliked were looking for baes, but got Bayes.

[@BharCode09]

haha! Imagine how they would have felt by end of the video!

[@romanemul1]

they were naive.

[@AIConcepts-tk3yq]

😂

[@matthewsherwood15]

Amazing, been researching this for a while and the way you break this down really gets through

[@MichelC2000]

This is really good! Thank you so much for your time and effort to make this topics accessible to the masses 🙂

[@TABISHJAMAL2011]

one of the best videos on Naive Bayes

[@Shadowdoctor117]

Amazing breakdown! I liked how you made it visually first and gradually turned it into the formula. That really made it click in my head!

[@NitinPandya26]

Great Explanation for Bayes Theorem, I have never understood naive Bayes so well....Thanks for this Luis

[@sidharthadaggubati438]

best Explanation. This Channel is a hidden gem

[@sayakpaul3152]

Beautiful Luis. You clearly draw the distinction between an educator and an instructor.

[@aashishluthra8124]

Explained with great simplicity, thanks for this!

[@black7365]

Dude, you're a life saver! This is by far the most clearly explained video out there on youtube.

[@lucp2]

Without any doubt the best explanation I've ever seen on Naive Bayes. Thank you

[@filipeoliveira5489]

Fantastic explanation! Such amazing teaching skills! I wish every teacher was like you! Great work and thank you!

[@obilorjim]

Beautiful and easy. Gentle speaking but excellent teaching ability. Luis Serrano, thank you!

[@sharathnatraj]

No concept is too difficult to understand if its explained in the way that it can be comprehended. Great job Luis! I keep coming back to your videos whenever I am stuck. You style of explanation with examples is amazing.

[@arunabhadeb5916]

Such a brilliant explanation. Thank you Luis. Kindly add more lectures on traditional ML related topics.

[@ghalibashraf]

This was a very clear and beginner-friendly explanation. Thank you!

[@jamesimmordino4855]

Great explanation , perfectly paced.

[@meysamamini9473]

Best Naive Bayes explanation ever! thank U Luis

[@yunqingwang2761]

indeed! best explanation of Naive Baye’s & Baye’s theorem

[@hebashakeel7161]

First time ever I understood this Naive Bayes. Thank you so much

[@MrDejurado]

This video is SOLID!!! Thank you so much for this and please keep making more videos! You made this concept so digestible it is not even funny.

[@murad4622]

Wow ... I love the way you present this topic. Thank you very much.

[@Ntho1994]

You have some of the best explanations of the topic in the entire business (literally hundreds of courses and YT series and stuff is out there). But you are the best

[@ganeshsubramanian6217]

I got a very clear understanding of Bayes and Naive Bayes - you are a great story teller! Thank you!

[@drranjitha]

"So if you like formulas..." OMG! Thank you so much, Dr. Serrano. You helped my brain find the missing piece in my puzzle. The whole explanation was so clear but the formula helped me transition from Bayes to Naive Bayes. I was looking for the missing piece in youtube and somehow landed on your video. I actually came here after attending your AIND class.

[@AbhishekJain-bv6vv]

I have to say, this is the best explanation of Naive Bayes on youtube. All other videos start off with the formula, while you started with an example then went on to the formulae. Keep posting videos man, you are one gem of a teacher!!

[@arjunbali3194]

Top notch explanation Luis ! In 20 minutes I went from mindlessly plugging in values into a formula to an intuitive understanding of how the algorithm and its calculations work. Thank you !

[@Kev1nTheCoder]

This is really FRIENDLY. Thank you!

[@pratiksingh9480]

My first encounter with your teaching style was in the Pytorch Udacity Challenge , I loved it ,and following you since then.

[@LocuraRosa987]

Can't thank you enough for this beautiful explanation on this kinda confusing topic. I mean, you didn't made any "naive" assumption about the watcher's background and explained it all in detail. Thanks a lot!

[@dossierk6406]

The best explanation ever of Naïve Bayes

[@jatinkumar4410]

Beautifully and clearly explained....Thank You sir.

[@totetronico]

Thank You for Such Clear and Well structured Explanation!.

[@mitramir5182]

Thank you very very much, I would probably liked your video twice if it was possible. It's so clear and plain that after a while, I again came back to it for reviewing naive bayes.

[@nuneskris]

This was AWESOMELY EXPLAINED!!!!! He needs to write a book

[@ManzoorKhan-kk6qk]

Appreciate the way (visualization) you explained a more complicated concept.

[@tarunraghav8657]

this one is the best explaination i have seen so far and i can unique too

[@shailesh_joshi]

Absolutely fantastic explaination. Thank you so much for this.

[@BetoAlvesRocha]

Muchísimas gracias, profesor Serrano! =) I've seen many explanations in KZbin regarding naive bayes, most of them from channels that I really appreciate, but your explanation is the best one by far. Thank you so much for making the link between the logic and the bayes formula!

[@anirudhgangadhar6158]

This is a beautiful explanation!

[@mehdirezaeianzadeh]

Great explanation, Luis, and many thanks!

[@gkutube12]

Excellent video. So well explained!

[@paedrufernando2351]

you are the coach who could teach students two weeks before the exams and get all students to get distinctions. I only wish if you took up Master classes.. Guys would be pouring to take up your master classes

[@dragolov]

Thank you so much for this video, Luis! Respect!

[@1tejashri]

Best explanation. Thank you.

[@MrStudent1978]

Beautiful explanation!

This was great ... I'm just starting out studying prob/stats .... and I think this will go a long way to overcome some of the hurdles I was having get past the Bayes theory. Now I am ready to hit the books again.

[@ammanuelbekeletilahun9526]

An excellent explanation.

[@ganeshhegde4049]

Explained intuitively! Thanks! :)

[@mrtandon5278]

It's been around 8 months, I'm moving towards ML and your guidance, teaching strategy are playing major role in it. I can't simply say thank you. Stay blessed.

[@SerranoAcademy]

Thank you, that's really nice to hear! Keep up the good work in ML!

[@Xraid32]

Thank you as always. Top tier stuff.

[@feggak]

Holy, what a good explanation of the concept, damn dude. Thanks alot!

[@maneeshnair79]

Pretty neat. Very easily understandable. Well explained.

[@tmpcox]

thank you so much! I was struggling so long with this one, because my prof. only explained it with one posterior, not two or more.

[@kunalr_ai]

Thanks for the episode

[@mrj4949]

Really great 🙏 my understanding is much better now 😊

[@user-or7ji5hv8y]

Great explanation!

[@ameygujre7674]

Came here from "codebasics" youtube channel. pretty amazingly explained by you man.. Thanks a lot..

[@vman049]

This is the best explanation of Naive Bayes I have seen or read. Better than Bishop. It starts with a crystal clear, intuitive example and concludes with a thorough explanation of how to apply Bayes' theorem. Thank you so much for this.

[@omarmohand-amer660]

you're such a legend, thank you for this video !

[@usamakhawaja8571]

You brother! have my respect.

[@tusharprakash6235]

Great video🙌

[@TejasPhase]

Very Nice Explanation and visual representation of the "Naive Bays" algorithm. Thanks, Luis Sir for this video. It really clears the concepts. Now, a little request is to make video on "Decision Tree" and "Random Forrest" like the same in visual representation.

[@yingzhu505]

Thanks A LOT! great video!

[@rashminkumarmadan3393]

First I saw the video from 3b1b then from statquest. Both of them are great videos. But I was not able to find a connection between them. Your video helped me to connect all the dots
