This paper deals with the feature selection for multiple k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) classifiers using Genetic Algorithm with Varying reputation Size (GAVaPS). Because we use multiple k-NN classifiers, the feature selection problem for them is vary hard and has large search region. To solve this problem, we employ the GAVaPS which outperforms comparison with simple genetic algorithm (SGA). Further, we propose the efficient combining method for multiple k-NN classifiers using GAVaPS. Experiments are performed to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method.

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.

Recently, query processing techniques for the multi-dimensional data like images have been widely used to perform content-based retrieval of the data . Range query and Nearest neighbor query are widely used multi dimensional queries . This paper Proposes the efficient pruning strategies for k-nearest neighbor query in R-tree variants indexing structures. Pruning strategy is important for the multi-dimensional indexing query processing so that search space can be reduced. We analyzed the Pruning strategies and perform experiments to show overhead and the profit of the strategies. Finally, we propose best use of the strategies.

Locality-sensitive hashing techniques have been developed to efficiently handle nearest neighbor searches and similar pair identification problems for large volumes of high-dimensional data. This study proposes a locality-sensitive hashing method that can be applied to nearest neighbor search problems for data sets containing both numerical and categorical attributes. The proposed method makes use of dual hashing functions, where one function is dedicated to numerical attributes and the other to categorical attributes. The method consists of creating indexing structures for each of the dual hashing functions, gathering and combining the candidates sets, and thoroughly examining them to determine the nearest ones. The proposed method is examined for a few synthetic data sets, and results show that it improves performance in cases of large amounts of data with both numerical and categorical attributes.

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.

Fractal image coding suffers from the long search time of domain pool although it provides many properties including the high compression ratio. We find that the normalized variance of a block is independent of contrast, brightness. Using this observation, we introduce a self similar block searching method employing the d-dimensional nearest neighbor searching. This method takes Ο(log/N) time for searching the self similar domain blocks for each range block where N is the number of domain blocks. PSNR (Peak Signal Noise Ratio) of this method is similar to that of the full search method that requires Ο(N) time for each range block. Moreover, the image quality of this method is independent of the number of edges in the image.

Recently, continuous k-nearest neighbor query(CkNN) which is defined as a query to find the nearest points of interest to all the points on a given path is widely used in the LBS(Location Based Service) and ITS(Intelligent Transportation System) applications. It is necessary to acquire results quickly in the above applications and be applicable to spatial network databases. This paper proposes a new method to search nearest POIs(Point Of Interest) for moving query objects on the spatial networks. The method produces a set of split points and their corresponding k-POIs as results. There is no order between the POIs. The analysis show that the proposed method outperforms the existing methods.

우리는 유클리드 공간에서 그림 데이터의 평균화 분산을 이용한 비선형 변환을 이용하여, 그림 데이터에서 최인접검색(nearest neighbor search)을 빠르게 할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제시한다. 기존의 평균과 분산을 이용한 최인접검색 알고리즘은 고차원 그림 데이터를 그보다 낮은 차원의 유클리드 공간의 데이터로 변환하고, 낮은 차원에서의 비교를 통해 최인접검색의 해가 될 수 없는 그림 데이터를 빠르게 제외하는 방법을 사용한다. 우리는 기존의 방법이 균일하게 나누어지는 크기의 그림 데이터에서만 가능하던 기존방법에 대한 해결책을 이 논문에서 제시하여 일반적인 그림 데이터에서도 평균과 분산을 이용하는 최인접검색을 가능하게 한다.

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.

When user wants to find objects which have the nearest position from him, we use the nearest neighbor (NN) query. The GIS applications, such as navigation system and traffic control system, require processing of NN query for moving objects (MOs). MOs have trajectory with changing their position over time. Therefore, we should be able to find NN object continuously changing over the whole query time when process NN query for MOs, as well as moving nearby on trajectory of query. However, none of previous works consider trajectory information between objects. Therefore, we propose a method of continuous NN query for trajectory of MOs. We call this CTNN (continuous trajectory NN) technique. It ran find constantly valid NN object on the whole query time by considering of trajectory information.
