This paper proposes a HPPS(Hybrid Preference Prediction System) design using the analysis of user profile and of the similarity among users precisely to predict the preference for custom-tailored service. Contrary to the existing NBCFA(Neighborhood Based Collaborative Filtering Algorithm), this paper is designed using these following rules. First, if there is no neighbor's commodity rating value in a preference prediction formula, this formula uses the rating average value for a commodity. Second, this formula reflects the weighting value through the analysis of a user's characteristics. Finally, when the nearest neighbor is selected, we consider the similarity, the commodity rating, and the rating frequency. Therefore, the first and second preference prediction formula made HPPS improve the precision by 97.24%, and the nearest neighbor selection method made HPPS improve the precision by 75%, compared with the existing NBCFA.

In this study, we deal with face recognition using fuzzy-based Fisherface method. The well-known Fisherface method is more insensitive to large variation in light direction, face pose, and facial expression than Principal Component Analysis method. Usually, the various methods of face recognition including Fisherface method give equal importance in determining the face to be recognized, regardless of typicalness. The main point here is that the proposed method assigns a feature vector transformed by PCA to fuzzy membership rather than assigning the vector to particular class. In this method, fuzzy membership degrees are obtained from FKNN(Fuzzy K-Nearest Neighbor) initialization. Experimental results show better recognition performance than other methods for ORL and Yale face databases.

Kullback Discrimination Information (KDI) is one of the pattern recognition methods. KDI defined as a measure of the mutual dissimilarity computed between two time series was studied for detection and classification of bearing flaking on outer-race and inner-races. To model the damages, the bearings in normal condition, outer-race flaking condition and inner-races flaking condition were provided. The vibration sensor was attached by the bearing housing. This produced the total 25 pieces of data each condition, and we chose the standard data and measure of distance between standard and tested data. It is difficult to detect the flaking because similar pulses come out when balls pass the defection point. The detection and classification method for inner and outer races are defected by KDI and nearest neighbor classification rule is proposed and its high performance is also shown.

Generally, multidimensional data such as image and spatial data require large amount of storage space. There is a limit to store and manage those large amounts of data in single workstation. If we manage the data on parallel computing environment which is being actively researched these days, we can get highly improved performance. In this paper, we propose a parallel multidimensional index structure that exploits the parallelism of the parallel computing environment. The proposed index structure is nP(processor)-nxmD(disk) architecture which is the hybrid type of nP-nD and 1P-nD. Its node structure in-creases fan-out and reduces the height of an index. Also, a range search algorithm that maximizes I/O parallelism is devised, and it is applied to k-nearest neighbor queries. Through various experiments, it is shown that the proposed method outperforms other parallel index structures.

In this paper we discussed a new methodology for Urdu Character Recognition system using Dempster-Shafer theory which can powerfully estimate the similarity ratings between a recognized character and sampling characters in the character database. Recognition of character is done by five probability calculation methods such as (similarity, hamming, linear correlation, cross-correlation, nearest neighbor) with Dempster-Shafer theory of belief functions. The main objective of this paper is to Recognition of Urdu letters and numerals through five similarity and dissimilarity algorithms to find the similarity between the given image and the standard template in the character recognition system. In this paper we develop a method to combine the results of the different distance measurement methods using the Dempster-Shafer theory. This idea enables us to obtain a single precision result. It was observed that the combination of these results ultimately enhanced the success rate.

The Voronoi diagram (VD) is the most suitable mechanism to find the nearest neighbor (NN) for mobile clients. In NN query processing, it is important to reduce the query response time, since a late query response may contain out-of-date information. In this paper, we study the issue of location dependent information services (LDISs) using a VD. To begin our study, we first introduce a broadcast-based spatial query processing methods designed to support NN query processing. In further sections, we introduce a generic method for location-dependent sequential prefetching and caching. The performance of this scheme is studied in different simulated environments. The core contribution of this research resides in our analytical proof and experimental results.

TRecently, there has been enormous growth in the amount of commercial and scientific data, such as protein sequences, retail transactions, and web-logs. Such datasets consist of sequence data that have an inherent sequential nature. In this Paper, we study how to classify these sequence datasets. There are several kinds techniques for data classification such as decision tree induction, Bayesian classification and K-NN etc. In our approach, we use a K-NN algorithm for classifying sequences. In addition, we propose a new similarity measure to compute the similarity between two sequences and an efficient method for measuring similarity.

The traveling salesman problem is a representative NP-Complete problem. It needs lots of time to get a solution as the number of city increase. So, we need an efficient heuristic algorithm that gets good solution in a short time. Almost edges that participate in optimal path have somewhat low value cost. This paper discusses the property of nearest neighbor and 3-opt. This paper uses nearest neighbor's property to select candidate edge. Candidate edge is a set of edge that has high probability to improve cycle path. We insert edge that is one of candidate edge into intial cycle path. As two cities are connected. It does not satisfy hamiltonian cycle's rule that every city must be visited and departed only one time. This paper uses 3-opt's method to sustain hamiltonian cycle while inserting edge into cycle path. This paper presents a highly efficient heuristic algorithm verified by numerous experiments.

기억기반학습의 일종인 최근접 이웃(k nearest neighbor) 알고리즘은 과거의 데이터들 중에서 새로운 개체와 유사한 데이터들을 이용해서 새로운 개체의 목적 값을 예측하는 것이다. 이 경우 속성의 가중치를 계산하는 방식은 kNN의 성능을 결정하는 중요한 요소가 된다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 다른 이론들과 달리 정보이론에서 사용되는 엔트로피 개념을 이용해서 속성의 가중치를 이론적이고, 효과적으로 계산하는 새로운 방법을 제시하고자한다. 제안된 방법은 각 속성이 목적속성에 제공하는 정보의 양에 따라 가중치를 자동으로 계산하여 kNN의 성능을 향상시킨다. 마지막으로 이러한 방식의 성능을 다수의 실험을 통해 비교하였다.

사회의 복잡화와 인터넷의 성장으로 폭발적으로 늘어나고 있는 정보들을 사용자가 모두 검토한 후 여과하기는 어려운 일이다. 이러한 문제를 보완하기 위해서 자동화된 정보 여과 기술이 사용되는데, k-최근접 이웃(k-nearest neighbor) 알고리즘은 그 구현이 간단하며 비교적 정확하여 가장 널리 쓰이고 있는 알고리즘 중 하나이다. k 개의 최근접 이웃들로부터 평가값을 계산하는 데 흔히 쓰이는 방법은 상관계수를 이용한 가중치에 기반하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 이를 보완하여 대규모 데이터에 대해서도 속도는 크게 저하되지 않으며 정확도는 대폭 향상시킬 수 있는 방법을 적용하였다. 또한, 최근접 이웃을 구하는 거리함수로 다양한 방법을 시도하였다. 영화추천을 위한 실제 데이터에 대한 실험 결과, 속도의 저하는 미미하였으나 정확도에 있어서는 크게 향상된 결과를 가져올 수 있었다.
