K Nearest Neighbor Algorithm - Fundamentals and Applications

Sinopse

What Is K Nearest Neighbor Algorithm
 
The k-nearest neighbors technique, also known as k-NN, is a non-parametric supervised learning method that was initially created in 1951 by Evelyn Fix and Joseph Hodges in the field of statistics. Thomas Cover later expanded on the original concept. It has applications in both regression and classification. In both scenarios, the input is made up of the k training instances in a data collection that are the closest to one another. Whether or not k-NN was used for classification or regression, the results are as follows:The output of a k-nearest neighbor classification is a class membership. A plurality of an item's neighbors votes on how the object should be classified, and the object is then assigned to the class that is most popular among its k nearest neighbors (where k is a positive number that is often quite small). If k is equal to one, then the object is simply classified as belonging to the category of its single closest neighbor.The result of a k-NN regression is the value of a certain property associated with an object. This value is the average of the values of the k neighbors that are the closest to the current location. If k is equal to one, then the value of the output is simply taken from the value of the one nearest neighbor.

From Big Bang to Black Holes -...

Dirk Fallon

The origins of the universe are a subject of profound scientific interest and philosophical debate. The most widely accepted explanation for the birth of the cosmos is the Big Bang Theory. According to this theory, the universe began as an incredibly hot, dense point around 13.8 billion years ago. This singularity contained all of the matter and energy that would eventually form stars, galaxies, planets, and everything else that makes up the cosmos.
The event itself wasn’t an explosion in the traditional sense but a rapid expansion of space itself. Immediately following the Big Bang, the universe began to expand exponentially, a process known as cosmic inflation. During this phase, the universe grew from smaller than the size of an atom to a vast, nearly infinite expanse in an instant. The rapid expansion allowed matter and energy to cool, leading to the formation of elementary particles such as quarks, electrons, and neutrinos. As the universe continued to expand and cool, quarks combined to form protons and neutrons, which eventually led to the creation of simple atomic nuclei like hydrogen and helium.
After hundreds of thousands of years, the universe cooled enough for electrons to combine with protons and form neutral hydrogen atoms. This allowed light to travel freely, marking the beginning of what is known as the "cosmic dark ages." During this time, the universe was nearly invisible to the human eye, as light was scattered by free electrons. Eventually, gravity began to take hold, pulling matter together to form the first stars and galaxies.

City Networks - Connectivity and...

Lyric Vale

Connectivity is a critical element in shaping the development and functionality of modern cities. As urbanization accelerates, the ability to connect people, services, and infrastructure becomes fundamental in ensuring that cities grow in a sustainable, efficient, and equitable manner. Whether through transportation, digital infrastructure, or social systems, connectivity determines the overall effectiveness of urban environments. It not only enables economic growth and innovation but also enhances the quality of life for urban residents, facilitating better access to services, opportunities, and resources. As cities evolve, improving connectivity has become one of the most pressing priorities for urban planners, policymakers, and developers.
Historically, the evolution of urban connectivity was rooted in physical infrastructure. Roads, railways, and ports formed the foundation for the development of cities, enabling the movement of goods, services, and people. These early forms of connectivity allowed urban centers to thrive, driving economic activity and creating spaces for cultural exchange. As cities grew, so did their need for more complex and advanced networks. In the 21st century, digital connectivity has added a new layer of importance to urban development. High-speed internet, mobile technology, and digital communication systems have transformed how cities function, providing real-time access to information and services that were previously unavailable.
The concept of the "smart city" highlights the profound impact of digital connectivity on urban life. By integrating technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, and big data, cities can improve everything from traffic management to resource distribution. Smart city solutions enable cities to operate more efficiently and sustainably, optimizing the use of energy, water, and other resources while reducing waste and pollution.

The ocean is the last remaining source of profound mystery and discovery on Earth. With eighty percent of it still largely unexplored, it is endlessly fascinating.  
 
In Kraken: The Curious, Exciting, and Slightly Disturbing Science of Squid, journalist Wendy Williams introduces one of the ocean’s most charismatic, monstrous, and enigmatic inhabitants: the squid. More than just calamari, squid species are fascinatingly odd creatures, with much to teach us about our own species.  
 
Williams examines it all, from the enormous beast that is the giant squid, which is quick to attack sperm whales, submarines, and boats, to the octopus and the cuttlefish, and explores their otherworldly abilities, such as camouflage and bioluminescence. Kraken takes the reader on a wild ride through the world of  
squid science and adventure, along the way answering some riddles about how the human brain works, what intelligence really is, and what monsters lie in the deep.
