Nearest neighbor algorithms classify an unseen input instance by selecting similar cases and use the discovered membership to make predictions about the unknown features of the input instance. The usefulness of the nearest neighbor algorithms have been demonstrated sufficiently in many real-world domains. In nearest neighbor algorithms, it is an important issue to assign proper weights to the attributes. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new method which can automatically assigns to each attribute a weight of its importance with respect to the target attribute. The method has been implemented as a computer program and its effectiveness has been tested on a number of machine learning databases publicly available.

최근접 객체 질의(Nearest Neighbor Query)는 질의가 요청된 지점으로부터 가장 가까운 객체를 찾는 질 의로 위치기반 서비스 분야에서 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 질의의 형태이다. 이를 기반으로 한 지역 최근접 객체 질의 (Range Nearest Neighbor), 연속 최근접 객체 질의(Continuos Nearest Neighbor)등의 확장 된 개념으로 다양한 최근접 객체 질의가 제안되어 왔다. 그러나 지금까지의 최근접 객체 질의를 기반으로 한 연구들은 점으로 표현된 질의를 기준으로 하여 최근접 객체를 찾는 기준점 최근접 객체(Point Nearest Neighbor) 질의를 기반으로 하고 있어, 점으로 표현이 불가능한 1 차원 형태의 질의에 대하여 효과적인 최근접 객체를 검색하는 연구는 연구된 바 없다. 본 논문에서는 한 개 이상의 1 차원 형태의 선분으로 이루어진 질의에 대하여 질의 주변의 객체 중 최근접 객체를 찾는 다중선 최근접 객체 질의 (Polyline Nearest Neighbor)를 정의하고 효과적인 질의 처리 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 기법의 성능 분석을 위한 실험은 객체와 질의가 다양한 형태로 분포되어 있는 환경아래 진행되었으며, 실험 결과는 기대 값과 근접한 결과 값을 얻었다.

The clustering problem can be formulated as the problem to find the number of clusters and a partition matrix from a given data set using the iterative or non-iterative algorithms. The author proposes a nearest neighbor and validity-based clustering algorithm where each data point in the data set is linked with the nearest neighbor data point to form initial clusters and then a cluster in the initial clusters is linked with the nearest neighbor cluster to form a new cluster. The linking between clusters is continued until no more linking is possible. An optimal set of clusters is identified by using the conventional cluster validity index. Experimental results on well-known data sets are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed clustering algorithm.

Approximate k-nearest neighbor queries are frequently occurred for finding the k nearest neighbors to a given query point in spatial database systems. The number of searched nodes in an index must be minimized in order to increase the performance of approximate k nearest neighbor queries. In this paper. we suggest the technique of approximate k nearest neighbor queries on R-tree family by improving the existing algorithm and evaluate the performance of the proposed method in dynamic spatial database environments. The simulation results show that a proposed method always has a low number of disk access irrespective of object distribution, size of nearest neighbor queries and approximation rates as compared with an existing method.

Popular in discriminant classification analysis, k-nearest neighbor classification methods have limitations that do not reflect the local characteristic of the data, considering only the number of fixed neighbors. Considering the local structure of the data, the adaptive nearest neighbor method has been developed to select the number of neighbors. In the analysis of high-dimensional data, it is common to perform dimension reduction such as random projection techniques before using k-nearest neighbor classification. Recently, an ensemble technique has been developed that carefully combines the results of such random classifiers and makes final assignments by voting. In this paper, we propose a novel discriminant classification technique that combines adaptive nearest neighbor methods with random projection ensemble techniques for analysis on high-dimensional data. Through simulation and real-world data analyses, we confirm that the proposed method outperforms in terms of classification accuracy compared to the previously developed methods.

Nearest neighbor query retrieves nearest located target objects, and is very frequently used in mobile environment. In this paper we propose a novel neatest neighbor query processing technique that is able to retrieve nearest located target object from the user who is continuously moving with a direction. The proposed method retrieves objects using the direction property of moving object as well as euclidean distance to target object. The proposed method is applicable to traffic information system, travel information system, and location-based recommendation system which require retrieving nearest located object.

The Reverse k Nearest Neighbor (RkNN) query is valuable for finding objects influenced by a specific object and is widely used in both scientific and commercial systems. However, the influence level of each object is unknown, information that is critical for some applications (e.g. target marketing). In this paper, we propose a new query type, Ordered Reverse k Nearest Neighbor (ORkNN), and make efforts to adapt it in an on-demand scenario. An Order-k Voronoi diagram based approach is used to answer ORkNN queries. In particular, for different values of k, we pre-construct only one Voronoi diagram. Algorithms on both the server and the clients are presented. We also present experimental results that suggest our proposed algorithms may have practical applications.

문서 범주화에서 문서의 내용에 따라 적합한 범주의 종류와 수를 찾는 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 문서 당 하나의 범주를 할당할 경우에 가장 좋은 성능을 보이는 모델이 효과적일 것이다. 그러므로, 본 논문에서는 문서 당 하나의 범주를 할당할 경우에 좋은 결과를 보이는 k-nearest neighbor 방법을 이용한다. 그리고 k-nearest neighbor 방법을 이용한 문서 범주화의 성능을 향상시키기 위해서, 문서 표현에 사용하는 단어들을 범주 자질의 성격을 갖는 단어들로 제한하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 Router 신문 일년치로 구성된 Router-21578 테스트 집합에서 breakeven point 82%라는 좋은 결과를 보였다.

A conventional missing value problem in the statistical analysis k-Nearest Neighbor(KNN) method are used for a simple imputation method. When one of the k-nearest neighbors is an extreme value or outlier, the KNN method can create a bias. In this paper, we propose a Weighted k-Nearest Neighbors(WKNN) imputation method that can supplement KNN's faults. A Monte-Carlo simulation study is also adapted to compare the WKNN method and KNN method using real data set.

This paper addresses the problem of finding a constrained nearest neighbor for moving query point(we call it CNNMP) The Nearest neighbor problem is classified by existence of a constrained region, the number of query result and movement of query point and target. The problem assumes that the query point is not static, as 1-nearest neighbor problem, but varies its position over time to the constrained region. The parameters as NC, NCMBR, CQR and QL for the algorithm are also presented. We suggest the query optimization algorithm in consideration of topological relationship among them
