This paper proposes an efficient path finding scheme capable of searching the paths to k static objects from a given query point, aiming at both improving the legacy k-nearest neighbor search and making it easily applicable to the road network environment. To the end of improving the speed of finding one-to-many paths, the modified A* obviates the duplicated part of node scans involved in the multiple executions of a one-to-one path finding algorithm. Additionally, the cost to the each object found in this step makes it possible to finalize the k objects according to the network distance from the candidate set as well as to order them by the path cost. Experiment results show that the proposed scheme has the accuracy of around 100% and improves the search speed by $1.3{\sim}3.0$ times of k-nearest neighbor searches, compared with INE, post-Dijkstra, and $na{\ddot{i}}ve$ method.

The cathode voltage of aluminum electrolytic cell is relatively stable under normal conditions and fluctuates greatly when it has an anomaly. In order to detect the abnormal range of cathode voltage, an anomaly detection algorithm based on sliding window was proposed. The algorithm combines the time series segmentation linear representation method and the k-nearest neighbor local anomaly detection algorithm, which is more efficient than the direct detection of the original sequence. The algorithm first segments the cathode voltage time series, then calculates the length, the slope, and the mean of each line segment pattern, and maps them into a set of spatial objects. And then the local anomaly detection algorithm is used to detect abnormal patterns according to the local anomaly factor and the pattern length. The experimental results showed that the algorithm can effectively detect the abnormal range of cathode voltage.

In English-Korean machine translation, transitive verb-objective collocation is utilized for accurate translation of an English verbal phrase into Korean. This paper presents an algorithm for correct verb translation based on the k-nearest neighbor learning. The semantic distance is defined on the WordNet for the k-nearest neighbor learning. And we also present algorithms for automatic collocation dictionary optimization. The algorithms extract transitive verb-objective pairs as training examples from large corpora and minimize the examples, considering the tradeoff between translation accuracy and example size. Experiments show that these algorithms optimized collocation dictionary keeping about 90% accuracy for a verb 'build'.

Personal rapid transit (PRT) is a new transportation system, which is energy efficient and brings high quality of customer service. Customers arrive dynamically at stations and request transportation service. In this paper, we propose a new online PRT dispatching algorithm for pickup and delivery of customers. We adopt the nearest neighbor dispatching rule, which is known as performing well in general. We extend the rule with bipartite matching in order to deal with multiple vehicles and customers at the same time. We suggest a systematic way for selecting vehicles that will be considered to be dispatched, since the scope with which vehicles are selected may affect the system performance. We regard the empty travel distance of vehicles and the customer waiting time as the performance measures. By using simulation experiments, it has been examined that the scope of dispatching affects the system performance. The proposed algorithm has been validated by comparing with other dispatching rules for transportation services. We have shown that our algorithm is more suitable for PRT operating environment than other dispatching rules.

Traditional machine learning based emotion analysis methods such as Classification and Regression Tree (CART), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and k-nearest neighbor classification (kNN) are less accurate. In this paper, we propose an improved kNN classification method. Improved methods and data normalization achieve the goal of improving accuracy. Then, three classification algorithms and an improved algorithm were compared based on experimental data.

This paper proposes an effective, four-stage smoke detection method based on video that provides emergency response in the event of unexpected hazards in early fire-alarming systems. In the first phase, an approximate median method is used to segment moving regions in the present frame of video. In the second phase, a color segmentation of smoke is performed to select candidate smoke regions from these moving regions. In the third phase, a feature extraction algorithm is used to extract five feature parameters of smoke by analyzing characteristics of the candidate smoke regions such as area randomness and motion of smoke. In the fourth phase, extracted five parameters of smoke are used as an input for a K-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm to identify whether the candidate smoke regions are smoke or non-smoke. Experimental results indicate that the proposed four-stage smoke detection method outperforms other algorithms in terms of smoke detection, providing a low false alarm rate and high reliability in open and large spaces.

Traveling salesman problem is to minimize the total cost for a traveling salesman who wants to make a tour given finite number of cities along with the cost of travel between each pair them, visiting each cities exactly once before returning home. Traveling salesman problem is known to be NP-hard, and it needs a lot of computing time to get the optimal solution, so that heuristics are more frequently developed than optimal algorithms. This study suggests a hybrid parallel genetic algorithm(HPGA) for traveling salesman problem The suggested algorithm combines parallel genetic algorithm, nearest neighbor search, and 2-opt. The suggested algorithm has been tested on 7 problems in TSPLIB and compared the results of existing methods(heuristics, meta-heuristics, hybrid, and parallel). Experimental results shows that HPGA could obtain good solution in total travel distance minimization.

A study of fracture to material is getting interest in nuclear and aerospace industry as a viewpoint of safety. Acoustic emission (AE) is a non-destructive testing and new technology to evaluate safety on structures. In previous research continuously, all tensile tests on the pre-defected coupons were performed using the universal testing machine, which machine crosshead was move at a constant speed of 5mm/min. This study is to evaluate an AE source characterization of SM45C steel by using k-nearest neighbor classifier, k-NNC. For this, we used K-means clustering as an unsupervised learning method for obtained multi -variate AE main data sets, and we applied k-NNC as a supervised learning pattern recognition algorithm for obtained multi-variate AE working data sets. As a result, the criteria of Wilk's $\lambda$, D&B(Rij) & Tou are discussed.

The weighted K-nearest neighbor (WKNN) algorithm is used to reduce positioning accuracy, as it uses a fixed number of neighbors to estimate the position. In this paper, we propose a dynamic threshold location algorithm (DH-KNN) to improve positioning accuracy. The proposed algorithm is designed based on a dynamic threshold to determine the number of neighbors and filter out singular reference points (RPs). We compare its performance with the WKNN and Enhanced K-Nearest Neighbor (EKNN) algorithms in test spaces of networks with dimensions of $20m{\times}20m$, $30m{\times}30m$, $40m{\times}40m$ and $50m{\times}50m$. Simulation results show that the maximum position accuracy of DH-KNN improves by 31.1%, and its maximum position error decreases by 23.5%. The results demonstrate that our proposed method achieves better performance than other well-known algorithms.

최근 공간 네트워크 데이터베이스를 위한 질의처리 알고리즘에 관한 연구가 많이 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 현재 좌표-기반 질의에 대한 연구는 활발히 진행중인 반면, 경로-기반 질의에 대한 연구는 매우 미흡한 실정이다. 공간 네트워크 데이터베이스에서는 이동객체가 공간 네트워크상에서만 이동하기 때문에 경로-기반 질의의 유용성이 매우 증대되므로, 경로-기반 질의에 대한 효율적인 질의처리 알고리즘 연구가 필수적이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 경로-기반 질의의 대표적인 방법인 In-Route Nearest Neighbor 질의처리 알고리즘을 분석하여 기존 연구에서 고려하지 않은 시간 및 공간제약을 고려한 경로-기반 질의처리 알고리즘을 설계한다.
