- Cromwell's Rule
- Suppose the word "thaumaturgy" never appeared in the spam training set: the maximum-likelihood estimate is \(P(\text{"thaumaturgy"} \mid \text{spam}) = 0\), a closed commitment at the boundary.
This sourceExplains the zero-frequency problem (a zero count kills the product in a naive Bayes / n-gram model) and Laplace add-one smoothing as the standard fix that keeps every event at small but nonzero probability.
