We have previously discussed several supervised learning algorithms ... SVM and kNN exemplify several important trade-offs in machine learning (ML). SVM is often less computationally demanding ...

They play out the concept with one of the simplest machine-learning algorithms, known as k-nearest neighbors (kNN), which classifies objects using a graphical approach. To understand how kNN works ...

Using machine learning and an image-retrieval system ... Courtesy of MIT CSAIL MosAIc is built around a “k-nearest neighbors” (KNN) algorithm, which is typically used to group similar items ...
