	naive - Definitions from Dictionary.com
		Naive sometimes connotes a credulity that impedes effective functioning in a practical world: "this naive simple creature, with his straightforward and friendly eyes so eager to believe appearances" (Arnold Bennett).
		Untutored in the perversities of some particular program or system; one who still tries to do things in an intuitive way, rather than the right way (in really good designs these coincide, but most designs aren't "really good" in the appropriate sense).
		It may imply naivete on the part of the programmer, although there are situations where a naive algorithm is preferred, because it is more important to keep the code comprehensible than to go for maximum performance.

	Naive Bayes classifier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Naive Bayes classifiers are based on probability models that incorporate strong independence assumptions which often have no bearing in reality, hence are (deliberately) naive.
		In spite of their naive design and apparently over-simplified assumptions, naive Bayes classifiers often work much better in many complex real-world situations than might be expected from their very simple design.
		The naive Bayes classifier has several properties that make it surprisingly useful in practice, despite the fact that the far-reaching independence assumptions are often violated.

	Naive set theory - Open Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Naive set theory was created at the end of the 19th century by Georg Cantor in order to allow mathematicians to work with infinite sets consistently.
		Furthermore, a firm grasp of naive set theory is important as a first stage in understanding the motivation for the axiomatic theory.
		Concerning the origin of the term "naive set theory", Jeff Miller [1] has this to say: "Naïve set theory (contrasting with axiomatic set theory) was used occasionally in the 1940s and became an established term in the 1950s.

		Naive set theory is distinguished from axiomatic set theory by the fact that the former regards sets as collections of objects, called the elements or members of the set, whereas the latter regards sets only as that which satisfies the axioms.
		Naive set theory was developed at the end of the 19th century (principally by Georg Cantor and Frege) in order to allow mathematicians to work with infinite sets consistently.
		In naive set theory, a set is described as a collection of objects.

	[Project Rastko] THE HISTORY OF SERBIAN CULTURE - Koviljka Smiljkovic: Naive art
		Naive art in Serbia was born at the beginning of the fourth decade of this century, when Janko Brasic, a painter from the village of Oparic, appeared with his first artistic works.
		After the foundation of the Museum of Naive Art in Jagodina (formerly the Gallery of Self-taught Artists of Fine Arts) in 1960, a group of painters from Jagodina and the neighbouring villages was created.
		In brief, the Naive art in Serbia, as a segment of modern fine arts, is a living organism in which nothing is final, in which everything is in movement and development.

	IL-2 therapy and thymic production of naive CD4 T cells in HIV-infected patients with severe CD4 lymphopenia
		TREC and naive cell recovery were correlated; they also correlated with the numbers of TREC and naive cells at the start of IL-2, and with age, suggesting a thymic origin for naive T-cell recovery.
		Finally, none or very little proliferation of naive T cells is observed in the periphery, where naive T cells proliferate and convert to effector or memory T cells when encountering their specific antigen.
		To avoid problems of interpretation as a result of the different capacity of naive and memory T cells to proliferate and to allow an unbiased estimate of thymic output, results were expressed as TREC copies/[mu]l and not as TREC content per cell.

	Opportunistic Infections -- AEGIS
		In people with AIDS, naive T cell and (adult) memory cell ratio become skewed, with about eighty percent of the T cells being memory T cells.
		Naive T cell loss reduces the patient's ability to respond to new dangers, thus explaining the AIDS patient's susceptibility to opportunistic disease.
		But a completely different possibility is that the immune system is overstimulated, and abnormally causing naive cells to mature into memory cells.

	Resistance Testing Suggested in ART-Naïve Pregnancy
		In patients who are antiretroviral naive, the prevalence of resistance to nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) is highest among the three classes of antiretrovirals.
		In a previously described study, the overall prevalence in St. Louis of resistance in the drug-naive male and female population was 17% in 1999 through 2001; a third of these cases involved resistance to NNRTIs.
		The results of this study in naive pregnant women support the impression that the prevalence of primary resistance in patients with HIV infection is increasing in this region.

	Naive Bayes Classifier
		The Naive Bayes Classifier technique is based on the so-called Bayesian theorem and is particularly suited when the dimensionality of the inputs is high.
		In effect, Naive Bayes reduces a high-dimensional density estimation task to a one-dimensional kernel density estimation.
		For categorical variables, a discrete probability is used with values of the categorical level being proportional to their conditional frequency in the training data.

	Naive Bayesian Learning (ResearchIndex)
		Abstract: Introduction So-called "naive" Bayesian classification is the optimal method of supervised learning if the values of the attributes of an example are independent given the class of the example.
		Although this assumption is almost always violated in practice, recent work has shown that naive Bayesian learning is remarkably effective in practice and difficult to improve upon systematically [Domingos and Pazzani, 1996].

		Aurelio Pernice, born in 1964 in Sicily, Italy, is a self-taught naive* artist who studied engineering at a university "with a formidable, wild, inborn, artistic talent." His paintings try to touch the truths of life with their blend of realism, history, folklore, humor, melancholy, and sentimentalism.
		Naive art or naïve art--The style of naive* painting is characterized by a careful, simplifying approach, non-scientific perspective, bright colors, and often, an enchantingly literal depiction of imaginary scenes.
		Although not following any particular movement or aesthetic, naive painters have been a continuing international phenomenon and influence since the beginning of the twentieth century.

	Naïve art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Over time it has become an acceptable style.
		The characteristics of naïve art are an awkward relationship to the formal qualities of painting; for example, difficulties with drawing and perspective that result in a charmingly awkward and often refreshing vision; strong use of pattern, unrefined colour, and simplicity rather than subtlety are all supposed markers of naive art.
		It has become such a popular and recognisable style that many examples could be called pseudo-naïve.

	Naive Bayes-Introduction
		A difficulty arises when you have more than a few variables and classes -- you would require an enormous number of observations (records) to estimate these probabilities.
		Naive Bayes classification gets around this problem by not requiring that you have lots of observations for each possible combination of the variables.
		In other words, Naïve Bayes classifiers assume that the effect of a variable value on a given class is independent of the values of other variable.
