Abstract

It is known that main drawbacks of KNN classifier are related to the need for keeping all the training prototypes. Although there are several approaches capable to significantly reduce the size of the case base, they damage the classification accuracy. We propose a novel fuzzy approach capable to significantly reduce the prototypes base while improving the classification accuracies of KNN. It includes an optional tuning phase to be performed by an evolutionary algorithm, capable to further improve the accuracy of the classifier. An experimental study involving the proposal and 17 prototype based clas-sifiers on 30 databases validates the proposal.
