Abstract

The growing information infrastructure in a variety of disciplines involves an increasing requirement for efficient data mining techniques. Fast dimensionality reduction methods are important for understanding and processing of large data sets of high-dimensional patterns. In this work, unsupervised nearest neighbors (UNN), an efficient iterative method for dimensionality reduction, is presented. Starting with an introduction to machine learning and dimensionality reductio
