Bayesian Learning Algorithm

A Bayesian Learning Algorithm is a machine learning algorithm that applies Bayes Rule.

• Context:
  • It can range from being a Parametric Bayesian Learning Algorithm and Nonparametric Bayesian Learning Algorithm. http://videolectures.net/nipsworkshops2011_ghahramani_nonparametrics/
• Counter-Example(s):
  • a Kernel-based Learning Algorithm.
  • a k-Nearest Neighbor Learning Algorithm.
• See: Model Training Algorithm, Bayesian Network Training Algorithm.
