Classes with CS Majors...
Math Prof:
I'm not sure if this version of Bayes Theorem works for Spam filters, I think the authors of your textbook made too many simplifying assumptions.
CS student:
No, we proved it last semester in Artificial Intelligence.
Other CS student:
Yeah, empirically it works just as well as the full version of Bayes formula, and it's way more computationally efficient.
Another one:
The accuracy you gain by applying the full version is so small that it costs more to apply it than not to.
Math Prof:
Oh. Well, I'm still not convinced, but I guess if you guys say so.
