Data mining is frequently obstructed by privacy concerns. In many cases data is distributed, and bringing the data together in one place for analysis is not possible due to privac...
Approximate Nearest Neighbor (ANN) methods such as Locality Sensitive Hashing, Semantic Hashing, and Spectral Hashing, provide computationally ecient procedures for nding objects...
Nearest neighbor classification assumes locally constant class conditional probabilities. This assumption becomes invalid in high dimensions due to the curse-ofdimensionality. Sev...
Classification based on k-nearest neighbors (kNN classification) is one of the most widely used classification methods. The number k of nearest neighbors used for achieving a high ...
A description is given of how to use an estimate of the maximum possible distance at which a nearest neighbor can be found to prune the search process in a depth-first branch and ...
