Fourth Week Updates

Ok, updates for week number 4:

The highlights during this week were:

First:  Matlab code for Naive Bayes classifier for text categorization based on 20Newsgroup database
Checked and compared the performance with Truyen's code for maxent classifier. Maxent outperforms NB for lower l2-penalty

Second: Tried to derive the MLE for NB. Thanks to the online lectures, was able to make some sense of it.
Still working on the maxnet derivation. I am kinda gonna give up on understanding the theory behind the maxnet.

Thats all there is for now !
