From KNN to Nearest Neighbor Classification

A slecture by ECE student Jonathan Manring

Partly based on the ECE662 Spring 2014 lecture material of Prof. Mireille Boutin.



Post your slecture material here. Guidelines:

  • If you are making a text slecture
    • Type text using wikitext markup languages
    • Type all equations using latex code between <math> </math> tags.
    • You may include links to other Project Rhea pages.


Euclidean distance:
$ D(\vec{x_1},\vec{x_2})=||\vec{x_1}-\vec{x_2}||_{L_2}=\sqrt{\sum_{i=1}^n ({x_1}^i-{x_2}^i)^2} $

Manhattan (cab driver) distance:
$ D(\vec{x_1},\vec{x_2})=||\vec{x_1}-\vec{x_2}||_{L_1}=\sum_{i=1}^n |{x_1}^i-{x_2}^i| $

Minkowski metric:
$ D(\vec{x_1},\vec{x_2})=||\vec{x_1}-\vec{x_2}||_{L_p}=(\sum_{i=1}^n ({x_1}^i-{x_2}^i)^p)^{\frac{1}{p}} $

Riemannian metric:
$ D(\vec{x_1},\vec{x_2})=\sqrt{(\vec{x_1}-\vec{x_2})^\top \mathbb{M}(\vec{x_1}-\vec{x_2})} $

Infinite norm:
$ D(\vec{x_1},\vec{x_2})=||\vec{x_1}-\vec{x_2}||_{\infty}=max_i |{x_1}^i-{x_2}^i| $
