This paper is structured as follows. In Section 2 we
present our approach for enhancing naive Bayes by
using locally weighted learning. Section 3 contains experimental
results for two artificial domains and a collection
of benchmark datasets, demonstrating that the
predictive accuracy of naive Bayes can be improved by
learning locally weighted models at prediction time.
Section 4 discusses related work on enhancing the performance
of naive Bayes. Section 5 summarizes the
contributions made in this paper.
