SURVEY OF NEW APPROACHES ON PROTOTYPE SELECTION AND GENERATION 1 Survey of New Approaches on Prototype Selection and Generation

Prototype Selection and Prototype Generation are two lively research fields. As time goes by, new methods are developed following the basic guidelines that any Prototype Reduction algorithm should accomplish. These new methods often offer to the comunity different viewpoints to the problem, as well as better and more efficient approaches. This technical report provides a survey of the newest Prototype Reduction approaches, highlighting their main characteristics. These approaches are given a place in the already proposed taxonomies, depending of their specific behavior. With their inclusion, both Prototype Selection and Prototype Generation taxonomies will be fulfilled, representing properly all the Prototype Reduction methods proposed in the literature.
