Kernel methods have shown to improve the performance of conventional linear classification algorithms for complex distributed data sets, as mapping the data in input space into a higher dimensional feature space(7). In this paper, we propose a fuzzy kernel K-nearest neighbor(fuzzy kernel K-NN) algorithm, which applies the distance measure in feature space based on kernel functions to the fuzzy K-nearest neighbor(fuzzy K-NN) algorithm. In doing so, the proposed algorithm can enhance the Performance of the conventional algorithm, by choosing an appropriate kernel function. Results on several data sets and segmentation results for real images are given to show the validity of our proposed algorithm.

The k-nearest neighbor search query based on similarity is very important for content-based multimedia information retrieval(MIR). The conventional exact k-nearest neighbor search algorithm is not efficient for the MIR application because multimedia data should be represented as high dimensional feature vectors. Thus, an approximate k-nearest neighbor search algorithm is required for the MIR applications because the performance increase may outweigh the drawback of receiving approximate results. For this, we propose a new approximate k-nearest neighbor search algorithm for high dimensional data. In addition, the comparison of the conventional algorithm with our approximate k-nearest neighbor search algorithm is performed in terms of retrieval performance. Results show that our algorithm is more efficient than the conventional ones.

In order to make up the deficiencies of the existing research results which cannot effectively deal with the nearest neighbor query based on the line segments in obstacle space, the k nearest neighbor query method of line segment in obstacle space is proposed and the STA_OLkNN algorithm under the circumstance of static obstacle data set is put forward. The query process is divided into two stages, including the filtering process and refining process. In the filtration process, according to the properties of the line segment Voronoi diagram, the corresponding pruning rules are proposed and the filtering algorithm is presented. In the refining process, according to the relationship of the position between the line segments, the corresponding distance expression method is put forward and the final result is obtained by comparing the distance. Theoretical research and experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively deal with the problem of k nearest neighbor query of the line segment in the obstacle environment.

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.

본 논문에서는 k-Nearest Neighbor(k-NN) 알고리즘을 최적화하기 위해 지역적으로 다른 k(고려할 neighbor의 개수)를 사용하는 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 인스턴스 공간(instance space)에서 노이즈(noise)의 분포가 지역적(local)으로 다를 경우, 각 지점에서 고려해야 할 최적의 이웃 인스턴스(neighbor)의 수는 해당 지점에서의 국부적인 노이즈 분포에 따라 다르다. 그러나 기존의 방법은 전체 인스턴스 공간에 대해 동일한 k를 사용하기 때문에 이러한 인스턴스 공간의 지역적인 특성을 고려하지 못한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 지역적으로 분포가 다른 노이즈 문제를 해결하기 위해 인스턴스 공간을 여러 개의 부분으로 나누고, 각 부분에 최적화된 k의 값을 사용하여 kNN을 수행하는 새로운 방법인 Local-k Nearest Neighbor 알고리즘(LkNN Algorithm)을 제안한다. LkNN을 통해 생성된 k의 집합은 인스턴스 공간의 각 부분을 대표하는 값으로, 해당 지역의 인스턴스가 고려해야 할 이웃(neighbor)의 수를 결정지어준다. 제안한 알고리즘에 적합한 데이터의 도메인(domain)과 그것의 향상된 성능은 UCI ML Data Repository 데이터를 사용한 실험을 통해 검증하였다.

커널 함수는 데이터를 high dimension 상의 속성 공간으로 mapping함으로써 복잡한 분포를 가지는 데이터에 대하여 기존의 선형 분류 알고리즘들의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 유클리디안 거리측정방법 대신에 커널 함수에 의한 속성 공간의 거리측정방법을 fuzzy K-nearest neighbor 알고리즘에 적용한 fuzzy kernel K-nearest neighbor(FKKNN) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제시한 알고리즘은 데이터에 대한 적절한 커널 함수의 선택으로 기존 알고리즘의 성능을 향상 시킬 수 있다. 제시한 알고리즘의 타당성을 보이기 위하여 여러 데이터 집합에 대한 실험결과를 분석한다.

Recently, to support LBS(location-based services) and telematics applications efficiently, there have been many researches which consider the spatial network instead of Euclidean space. However, existing range query and k-nearest neighbor query algorithms show a linear decrease in performance as the value of radius and k is increased. In this paper, to increase the performance of query processing algorithm, we propose materialization-based range and k-nearest neighbor algorithms. In addition, we make the performance comparison to show the proposed algorithm achieves better retrieval performance than the existing algorithm.

The TSP(Traveling Salesman Problem) has been known as NP-complete, there have been various studies to find the near optimal solution. The nearest neighbor heuristic is more simple than the other algorithms which are to find the optimal solution. This paper designs and implements a new distributed nearest neighbor heuristic with bounding function for the TSP using the master/slave model of PVM(Parallel Virtual Machine). Distributed genetic algorithm obtains a near optimal solution and distributed nearest neighbor heuristic finds an optimal solution for the TSP using the near optimal value obtained by distributed genetic algorithm as the initial bounding value. Especially, we get more speedup using a new genetic operator in the genetic algorithm.

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.

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
