The clustering problem can be formulated as the problem to find the number of clusters and a partition matrix from a given data set using the iterative or non-iterative algorithms. The author proposes a nearest neighbor and validity-based clustering algorithm where each data point in the data set is linked with the nearest neighbor data point to form initial clusters and then a cluster in the initial clusters is linked with the nearest neighbor cluster to form a new cluster. The linking between clusters is continued until no more linking is possible. An optimal set of clusters is identified by using the conventional cluster validity index. Experimental results on well-known data sets are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed clustering algorithm.

Researches for NN(nearest neighbor) query which is often used in LBS system, have been worked. However. Conventional NN query processing techniques are usually meaningless in moving object management system for LBS since their results may be invalidated as soon as the query and data objects move. To solve these problems, in this paper we propose a new nearest neighbor query processing technique, called CTNN, which is possible to meet continuous trajectory nearest neighbor query processing. The proposed technique consists of Approximate CTNN technique which has quick response time, and Exact CTNN technique which makes it possible to search accurately nearest neighbor objects. Experimental results using GSTD datasets shows that the Exact CTNN technique has high accuracy, but has a little low performance for response time. They also shows that the Approximate CTNN technique has low accuracy comparing with the Exact CTNN, but has high response time.

It is occurred frequently the reverse nearest neighbor queries to find objects where a query point can be the nearest neighbor object in recently applications like the encrypted spatial database. In a search space of the real world, however, there are many physical obstacles(e.g., rivers, lakes, highways, etc.). It is necessary the accurate measurement of distances considered the obstacles to increase the retrieval performance such as this circumstance. In this study, we present the algorithm and the measurement of distance to optimize the processing performance of reverse nearest neighbor queries in a search space with the presence of obstacles.

In this paper a computer programming for the expression of nearest neighbor atoms in face-centered cubic (FCC) and body-centered cubic (BCC) crystals was suggested as one of the approaches to understand each of the crystal structure. By using this computer programming the distance values between a reference atom and the nearest neighbor atoms, and the numbers of the nearest neighbor atoms were calculated ane compared for the FCC and BCC crystals. In this algorithm, the positions of the atoms in a crystal were defined as two categories: the corner atoms and face- or body-centered atoms, and considered respectively. For the same order of nearest neighbor atoms except the second order ones the distance values form the reference atom were smaller in the FCC crystals than those in the BCC. Also, the numbers of he first and third nearest neighbor atoms n the FCC crystals were larger than those in the BCC. This difference was explained by the comparison of each atomic packing ratio of the FCC and BCC crystals. The algorithm used in this programming can also be expanded to the analysis of other crystal structures.

The nearest neighbor classification rule is widely used because it is not only simple but the error rate is asymptotically less than twice Bayes theoretical minimum error. But the method basically use the whole training patterns as the reference vectors. so that both storage and classification time increase as the number of training patterns increases. LVQ(Learning Vector Quantization) resolved this problem by training the reference vectors instead of just storing the whole training patterns. But it is a heuristic algorithm which has no theoretic background there is no terminating condition and it requires a lot of iterations to get to meaningful result. This paper is to propose a new training method of the reference vectors. which minimize the given error function. The nearest neighbor network,the network version of the nearest neighbor classification rule is proposed. The network is funtionally identical to the nearest neighbor classification rule is proposed. The network is funtionally identical to the nearest neighbor classification rule and the reference vectors are represented by the weights between the nodes. The network is trained to minimize the error function with respect to the weights by the steepest descent method. The learning algorithm is derived and it is shown that the proposed method can adjust more reference vectors than LVQ in each iteration. Experiment showed that the proposed method requires less iterations and the error rate is smaller than that of LVQ2.

Approximate k-nearest neighbor queries are frequently occurred for finding the k nearest neighbors to a given query point in spatial database systems. The number of searched nodes in an index must be minimized in order to increase the performance of approximate k nearest neighbor queries. In this paper. we suggest the technique of approximate k nearest neighbor queries on R-tree family by improving the existing algorithm and evaluate the performance of the proposed method in dynamic spatial database environments. The simulation results show that a proposed method always has a low number of disk access irrespective of object distribution, size of nearest neighbor queries and approximation rates as compared with an existing method.

최근접 객체 질의(Nearest Neighbor Query)는 질의가 요청된 지점으로부터 가장 가까운 객체를 찾는 질 의로 위치기반 서비스 분야에서 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 질의의 형태이다. 이를 기반으로 한 지역 최근접 객체 질의 (Range Nearest Neighbor), 연속 최근접 객체 질의(Continuos Nearest Neighbor)등의 확장 된 개념으로 다양한 최근접 객체 질의가 제안되어 왔다. 그러나 지금까지의 최근접 객체 질의를 기반으로 한 연구들은 점으로 표현된 질의를 기준으로 하여 최근접 객체를 찾는 기준점 최근접 객체(Point Nearest Neighbor) 질의를 기반으로 하고 있어, 점으로 표현이 불가능한 1 차원 형태의 질의에 대하여 효과적인 최근접 객체를 검색하는 연구는 연구된 바 없다. 본 논문에서는 한 개 이상의 1 차원 형태의 선분으로 이루어진 질의에 대하여 질의 주변의 객체 중 최근접 객체를 찾는 다중선 최근접 객체 질의 (Polyline Nearest Neighbor)를 정의하고 효과적인 질의 처리 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 기법의 성능 분석을 위한 실험은 객체와 질의가 다양한 형태로 분포되어 있는 환경아래 진행되었으며, 실험 결과는 기대 값과 근접한 결과 값을 얻었다.

The k-nearest neighbor search query based on similarity is very important for content-based multimedia information retrieval(MIR). The conventional exact k-nearest neighbor search algorithm is not efficient for the MIR application because multimedia data should be represented as high dimensional feature vectors. Thus, an approximate k-nearest neighbor search algorithm is required for the MIR applications because the performance increase may outweigh the drawback of receiving approximate results. For this, we propose a new approximate k-nearest neighbor search algorithm for high dimensional data. In addition, the comparison of the conventional algorithm with our approximate k-nearest neighbor search algorithm is performed in terms of retrieval performance. Results show that our algorithm is more efficient than the conventional ones.

In order to make up the deficiencies of the existing research results which cannot effectively deal with the nearest neighbor query based on the line segments in obstacle space, the k nearest neighbor query method of line segment in obstacle space is proposed and the STA_OLkNN algorithm under the circumstance of static obstacle data set is put forward. The query process is divided into two stages, including the filtering process and refining process. In the filtration process, according to the properties of the line segment Voronoi diagram, the corresponding pruning rules are proposed and the filtering algorithm is presented. In the refining process, according to the relationship of the position between the line segments, the corresponding distance expression method is put forward and the final result is obtained by comparing the distance. Theoretical research and experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively deal with the problem of k nearest neighbor query of the line segment in the obstacle environment.

Nearest neighbor algorithms classify an unseen input instance by selecting similar cases and use the discovered membership to make predictions about the unknown features of the input instance. The usefulness of the nearest neighbor algorithms have been demonstrated sufficiently in many real-world domains. In nearest neighbor algorithms, it is an important issue to assign proper weights to the attributes. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new method which can automatically assigns to each attribute a weight of its importance with respect to the target attribute. The method has been implemented as a computer program and its effectiveness has been tested on a number of machine learning databases publicly available.
