K-nearest Neighbor Classification Algorithm

MachineLearningTask AIO:KnearestNeighborClassificationAlgorithm NOT_REVIEWED
A classification and clustering that classifies objects by a plurality vote of its neighbors, assigning each object to the class most common among its k nearest neighbors.

Curated AIMech Concepts Grounded to this Class

3 Concepts
Curated Concept Kind Mapping Relation Rationale
Large margin nearest neighbor
AIMech:LargeMarginNearestNeighbor
Algorithms related_match LMNN learns the distance used in nearest-neighbor voting. The target describes the voting task, so this is a related metric-training-to-classification association, not algorithm identity.
Neighbourhood components analysis
AIMech:NeighborhoodComponentsAnalysis
Algorithms related_match NCA learns the distance used by a nearest-neighbor classifier and explicitly applies voting after projection. It is distinct from the AIO voting task, so this is a related method-to-task association.
Relevant component analysis
AIMech:RelevantComponentAnalysis
Algorithms related_match The learned distance can be used for nearest-neighbor classification, one stated application. Learning this representation is distinct from the target’s voting rule; the relation is an explicitly related method-to-application association.
