Smart prototype selection for machine learning based on ignorance zones analysis

2018

The size of databases has been considerably growing over recent decades and Machine Learning algorithms are not ready to process such large volume of information. Being one of the most useful algorithms in Data Mining the Nearest neighbor classifier suffers from high storage requirements and slow response when working with large data sets. Prototype Selection methods help to alleviate this problem by choosing a subset of data with a smaller size. In this thesis, the overview of existing instance selection methods is provided together with the introduction of a new approach. The majority of current methods select a subset experimentally by checking whether certain point affects classificatio…
