on discriminative vs generative classifiers a comparison of logistic regression and naive bayes

Although our results were not obtained from the same exact collection as those used by authors of these two previous studies , comparable experiments suggest that our techniques are competitive in terms of performance , and may offer additional advantages as well . Discriminative approaches ( especially SVMs ) have been shown to be very effective for many supervised classification tasks ; see , for example , ( Joachims , 1998 ; Ng and Jordan , 2001 ) . However , their high computational complexity ( quadratic in the number of training samples ) renders them prohibitive for massive data processing .
