	Wikipedia: Nearest neighbour algorithm
		The nearest neighbour algorithm was one of the first algorithms used to determine a solution to the traveling salesman problem, and usually comes to within twenty percent of the optimal route.
		The nearest neighbour algorithm is easy to implement and can be done quickly, but it can sometimes miss shorter routes which are easily noticed with human hindsight.
		The results of the nearest neighbour algorithm should be checked before use, just in case such a shorter route has been missed.

	Geomantics - 3D, GIS, Landscape Visualization, Graphics and Business Software
		This version of GenesisII offers two interpolation algorithms, an implementation of the Natural Neighbour algorithm (nngridr), which should be used to interpolate the majority of missing heights, and a trend analysis/smoothing transform, which should be used for filling in the last few points once the majority of heights have been interpolated.
		Nearest neighbour interpolation should always be used except for final 'point filling' as trend analysis often produces artifactes when used other than with small groups of points.
		In some circumstances the nearest neighbour interpolation algorithm will be unable to proceed and an error message will be displayed: for example if the height to width ration of the selected area is too extreme.

		Use the k-nearest neighbour algorithm on the digit data set as follows: Learn in increments of 50 (you should get 8 result sets in all) for each value of k.
		Since as the number of neighbours are increasing the farther instances will also effect the output that is the reason the output accuracy is decreaing.
		So the K -nearest Neighbour algorithm will take less time in training but it will take more for giving answer to a query instance as complement to the Backprop networks.

	[No title]
		The agglomerative approach to cluster analysis, used by the nearest and farthest neighbour algorithms, is a bottom-up clumping approach where we begin with n singleton clusters and successively merge clusters to produce the other ones.
		Also, if the algorithm is allowed to run until all clusters are connected then a spanning tree is generated, or more precisely, a minimal spanning tree since the edges we are inserting between clusters are always the shortest ones in distance.
		The farthest-neighbour algorithm prevents the grouping of elongated clusters; instead, clusters are composed of complete subgraphs (Figure 4).

		A major advantage of this algorithm is that it is robust to noisy data (given a large dataset), as taking the weighted average of the nearest neighbours smoothes out isolated training instances.
		Statistical chance means that the k-nearest neighbour sets tend to contain more proteins from the dominant class, leading to this class as the dominant prediction even in the presence of substantial evidence for membership of one the other classes in the nearest neighbour set.
		Genetic algorithms are an optimisation approach, based on Darwinian principles, which assume that given a population of individuals, environmental pressures cause natural selection thus increasing the overall fitness of the population [43].

	Functional classification of proteins using a nearest neighbour algorithm
		The nearest neighbour rule [Cover and Hart, 1967; Dasarathy, 1991] states that a test instance is classified according to the classifications of "nearby" training examples.
		The performance of the nearest neighbour algorithm heavily depends on the properties of this function.
		Otherwise, the algorithm takes all entries that have at least a similarity score 0.9 times as high as the best score and checks if at least 50% of them are assigned to the same class.

	K-nearest neighbor algorithm
		In pattern recognition, the k-nearest neighbor algorithm (k-NN) is a method for classifying objects based on closest training examples in the feature space.
		The accuracy of the k-NN algorithm can be severely degraded by the presence of noisy or irrelevant features, or if the features scales are not consistent with their relevance.
		The algorithm is easy to implement, but it is computationally intensive, especially when the size of the training set grows.

		We modify the classical algorithm to use training examples of the form: (ObjectId,Red,Green,Blue),where ObjectId is a value that relates to the object: 1=Red, 2=Green, 3=Blue, 4=Yellow.
		Once we have determined the k nearest neighbours, a vote is taken between them using the ObjectId to determine how to classify the query point.
		Four of the points nearest in the colour space to the query point are red and one is yellow so the voting is Red 4 - 1 Yellow.

		An increasing number of intelligent information agents employ Nearest Neighbour learning algorithms to provide personalised assistance to the user.
		The importance of discarding irrelevant terms from the documents is then addressed, and this is generalised to examine the behaviour of the Nearest Neighbour learning algorithm with high dimensional data sets containing such values.
		The thesis concludes with a discussion of ways in which attribute selection and dimensionality reduction techniques may be used to improve the selection of relevant attributes, and thus increase the reliability and predictive accuracy of the Nearest Neighbour learning algorithm.

		Identifying the nearest neighbour of a given obervation vector from a set of training vectors is conceptually straightforward with n distance calculations to be performed.
		The algorithm is a linear approximation called LAESA (linear approximation and elimination algorithm), and it reduces a training dataset to a set of base prototypes.
		The LAESA algorithm begins by first selecting a base prototype b1, arbitrarily from the set of prototypes and the distance to every member of the remaining prototypes is calculated and stored in an array A.

	Capturing Interest Through Inference and Visualization: Ontological User Profiling in Recommender Systems
		Classifiers like k-Nearest Neighbour allow more training examples to be added to their term-vector space, without the need to re-build the entire classifier, and they degrade well, returning classes in the right “neighbourhood” and hence at least partially relevant.
		There is a clear benefit from both types of bootstrapping algorithm, made possible because the profiles are represented using ontological terms and hence profile interests can be mapped to the external bootstrapping ontology.
		The profiling algorithm, shown in figure 10, adds error adjustment values for every day under the feedback interest bar to constrain interest values to those given in the profile feedback.

	Cluster Analysis
		In order to determine the number of clusters and their partitions, numerous clustering algorithms exist which fall in one of two categories: hierarchical and non-hierarchical clustering.
		Non-hierarchical clustering algorithms produce disjoint clusters and thus work well when a given set is composed of a number of distinct classes or when the data description is "flat".
		Since using different clustering criterion and methods for determining the number of clusters and their partitions can produce varying results when applied to identical data, we should be wary about accepting the results of a single clustering method.

		Though this is not the focus of Robinson's study, it would also be useful to report how long the training took (measured in pattern presentations or with a rough count of floating-point operations required) and what level of success was achieved on the training and testing data after various amounts of training.
		It is interesting that, for this problem, the nearest neighbour clasification outperforms any of the connectionist models.
		The best results were achieved with nearest neighbour analysis which classifies an item as the class of the closest example in the training set measured using the Euclidean distance.

		Table 1 presents their results for many well-known learning algorithms, along with the results of running the VSM algorithm on the same data.
		In applying VSM learning, it is important that only neighbours produced by different speakers from the center input are accessed during training, as otherwise the weights will be optimized to recognize each vowel based on data from the same speaker.
		In fact, the nearest neighbour algorithm performed very well for this task, and the reason for this is shown by the fact that the feature weights changed only a little from their initial value of 1.0 during VSM learning.
