A Modified K-Nearest Neighbor Classifier to Deal with Unbalanced Classes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present in this paper a simple, yet valuable improvement to the traditional k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) classifier. It aims at addressing the issue of unbalanced classes by maximizing the class-wise classification accuracy. The proposed classifier also gives the option of favoring a particular class through evaluating a small set of fuzzy rules. When tested on a number of UCI datasets, the proposed algorithm managed to achieve a uniformly good performance.

Neighbor-weighted K-nearest neighbor for unbalanced text corpus
Text categorization or classification is the automated assigning of text documents to pre-defined classes based on their contents. Many of classification algorithms usually assume that the training examples are evenly distributed among different classes. However, unbalanced data sets often appear in many practical applications. In order to deal with uneven text sets, we propose the neighbor-wei...

The Internet provides easy access to a kind of library resources. However, classification of documents from a large amount of data is still an issue and demands time and energy to find certain documents. Classification of similar documents in specific classes of data can reduce the time for searching the required data, particularly text documents. This is further facilitated by using Artificial...

متن کاملComparing pixel-based and object-based algorithms for classifying land use of arid basins (Case study: Mokhtaran Basin, Iran)
In this research, two techniques of pixel-based and object-based image analysis were investigated and compared for providing land use map in arid basin of Mokhtaran, Birjand. Using Landsat satellite imagery in 2015, the classification of land use was performed with three object-based algorithms of supervised fuzzy-maximum likelihood, maximum likelihood, and K-nearest neighbor. Nine combinations...
