And what is that exactly? I was under the impression result of running nearest-neighbor algorithms are clusters. DBSCAN is a clustering algorithm. kNN is a clustering algorithm.
Is this used to find neighbors for use in a clustering algorithm?
- Eridrus 6y agoThis is used in neural retrieval systems where you are trying to find a specific example, not a cluster.
- abhgh 6y agokNN is used for classification/regression. Are you maybe talking about k-means?
- johnmyleswhite 6y agoYes, the nearest neighbor search problem is exactly the problem of finding nearest neighbors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nearest_neighbor_search https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nearest_neighbor_search
