The kNN algorithm is interpretable and visual, making it possible for humans to design the labels; neural networks are complicated and impenetrable, meaning the same may not be true.

For the uninitiated, the K-nearest neighbors or kNN Algorithm is a very simple classification algorithm that uses similarities between given sets of data and a data point being examined to predict ...

The KNN algorithm was first developed in 1951, and KNN has been routinely used in Web applications for several decades. However, until recently, database applications that want to use KNN have had to ...
