Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter aims at providing an overview of various modern approaches to learning with nearest neighbors in general metric spaces. We provide the necessary background and then proceed to cover classification, regression—with sufficient detail and literature pointers to yield practical insights into how various configuration and pre-processing choices, e.g., metric, the number of neighbors, data subsampling, and compression, affect learning and computational performance.
