Adaptive Kernel Metric Nearest Neighbor Classification
Nearest neighbor classification assumes locally constant class conditional probabilities. This assumption becomes invalid in high dimensions due to the curse-ofdimensionality. Sev...

Prototype Selection for Finding Efficient Representations of Dissimilarity Data
The nearest neighbor (NN) rule is a simple and intuitive method for solving classification problems. Originally, it uses distances to the complete training set. It performs well, ...
