This research work presents a method for automatic classification of medical images in two classes Normal and Abnormal based on image features and automatic abnormality detection. Our proposed system consists of four phases Preprocessing, Feature extraction, Classification, and Post processing. Statistical texture feature set is derived from normal and abnormal images. We used the KNN classifie...

DOI reference number: 10.18293/SEKE2015-153 Abstract—Recommendation systems are software tools and techniques that provide customized content to users. The collaborative filtering is one of the most prominent approaches in the recommendation area. Among the collaborative algorithms, one of the most popular is the k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN) which is an instance-based learning method. The kNN gene...

In this paper, we address the problem of finding k-nearest neighbors (KNN) in sequence databases using the edit distance. Unlike most existing works using short and exact ngram matchings together with a filter-and-refine framework for KNN sequence search, our new approach allows us to use longer but approximate n-gram matchings as a basis of KNN candidates pruning. Based on this new idea, we de...

In this paper we propose a novel method for learning a Mahalanobis distance measure to be used in the KNN classification algorithm. The algorithm directly maximizes a stochastic variant of the leave-one-out KNN score on the training set. It can also learn a low-dimensional linear embedding of labeled data that can be used for data visualization and fast classification. Unlike other methods, our...

We investigate automatic classification of posts to Internet forums. We use collective classification methods, which simultaneously classify related objects — in our case, the posts in a thread. Specifically, we compare the Iterative Classification Algorithm (ICA) with Conditional Random Fields and with conventional classifiers (k-Nearest Neighbours and Support Vector Machines). The ICA algorit...

Spectral clustering is a well-known graph-theoretic algorithm. Although spectral has several desirable advantages (such as the capability of discovering non-convex clusters and applicability to any data type), it often leads incorrect results because high sensitivity noise points. In this study, we propose robust algorithm known KNN-SC that can discover exact by decreasing influence To achieve ...
