K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) is one of the most popular algorithms for data classification. Many researchers have found that the KNN algorithm accomplishes very good performance in their experiments on different datasets. The traditional KNN text classification algorithm has limitations: calculation complexity, the performance is solely dependent on the training set, and so on. To overcome these li...

The widespread use of location-aware devices has led to countless location-based services in which a user query can be arbitrarily complex, i.e., one that embeds multiple spatial selection and join predicates. Amongst these predicates, the k-Nearest-Neighbor (kNN) predicate stands as one of the most important and widely used predicates. Unlike related research, this paper goes beyond the optimi...

Short-term traffic forecasting is becoming more important in intelligent transportation systems. The k-nearest neighbours (kNN) method is widely used for short-term traffic forecasting. However, the self-adjustment of kNN parameters has been a problem due to dynamic traffic characteristics. This paper proposes a fully automatic dynamic procedure kNN (DP-kNN) that makes the kNN parameters self-a...

The identification and discrimination of 2 closely related and morphologically similar species of Gyrodactylus, G. salaris and G. thymalli, were assessed using the statistical classification methodologies Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and k-Nearest Neighbours (KNN). These statistical methods were applied to morphometric measurements made on the gyrodactylid attachment hooks. The mean estim...

Lead free potassium sodium niobate (KNN) piezoceramics were synthesized via conventional solid state sintering route. Nano and micron WO3 were separately added to KNN through ball-milling. Dielectric and piezoelectric properties of samples sintered in the temperature range of 1110°-1145°C were measured by precision LCR-meter and APC d33-meter devices. The results revealed that micron WO3 partic...

According to the defects of KNN(K-Nearest Neighbor) algorithm and SVM(Support Vector Machine) algorithm in tracking a moving target such the large consumption and the low accuracy of target tracking error, a tracking model of moving target is proposed based on the combination of KNN algorithm and SVM algorithm with minimum distance optimization. First categories divided according to the princip...
