Fast minimization of structural risk by nearest neighbor rule.
In this paper, we present a novel nearest neighbor rule-based implementation of the structural risk minimization principle to address a generic classification problem. We propose a fast reference set thinning algorithm on the training data set similar to a support vector machine (SVM) approach. We then show that the nearest neighbor rule based on the reduced set implements the structural risk minimization principle, in a manner which does not involve selection of a convenient feature space. Simulation results on real data indicate that this method significantly reduces the computational cost of the conventional SVMs, and achieves a nearly comparable test error performance.
