A Survey of kNN Algorithm

The kNN algorithm is a well-known pattern recognition method, which is one of the best text classifi cation algorithms. It is one of the simplest machine learning algorithms in machine learning classification algorithm. In this paper, we summarize the kNN algorithm and related literature, introduce the idea, principle, implementation steps and implementation code of kNN algorithm in detail, and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the algorithm and its various improvement schemes. This paper also introduces the development of kNN algorithm, the important published papers. At the end of this paper, the application of kNN algorithm is introduced, and its implementation in text classifi cation is emphasized.
