The k-nearest neighbour (KNN) technique is a simple yet effective method for classification. In this paper, we propose an efficient weighted nearest neighbour classification algorithm, called PINE, using vertical data representation. A metric called HOBBit is used as the distance metric. The PINE algorithm applies a Gaussian podium function to set weights to different neighbours. We compare PIN...

Defect severity assessment is highly essential for the software practitioners so that they can focus their attention and resources on the defects having a higher priority than the other defects. This would directly impact resource allocation and planning of subsequent defect fixing activities. In this paper, we intend to predict a model which will be used to assign a severity level to each of t...

Currently, there has been an increasing development in the area of location-based service. An important type of query in this area is k nearest neighbor (kNN) query, which retrieves the top k nearest neighbors based on the user's position. Although a wide spectrum of work has been conducted on this query type, most of these studies focus on the ideal Euclidean plane without obstacles considered...

Condition monitoring systems for prognostics and diagnostics can enable large and complex systems to be operated more safely, at a lower cost and have a longer lifetime than is possible without them. AURA Alert is a condition monitoring system that uses a fast approximate k Nearest Neighbour (kNN) search of a timeseries database containing known system states to identify anomalous system behavi...

1&2 Department of Electronics and Communication 1&2 Punjabi University 1&2 Rajpura Road, Patiala 1&2 INDIA Abstract:Noisy Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal can mask some of the important features of the original ECG signal. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the noise for proper analysis of the ECG signal. In this paper, the use of Kohonen Neural Network (KNN) for automatically identifying the c...

This chapter describes realization of distributed approach to continuous queries with kNN join processing in the spatial telemetric data warehouse. Due to dispersion of the developed system, new structural members were distinguished: the mobile object simulator, the kNN join processing service, and the query manager. Distributed tasks communicate using JAVA RMI methods. The kNN queries (k Neare...
