Local learning for classification is useful in dealing with various vision problems. One key factor for such approaches to be effective is to find good neighbors for the learning ...
The idea of local learning, i.e., classifying a particular example based on its neighbors, has been successfully applied to many semi-supervised and clustering problems recently. ...
