K-Nearest Neighbors for Machine Learning

K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) is a simple machine learning algorithm used for classification. It predicts the class of a data point by analyzing the closest data points (neighbors), making decisions based on similarity and distance.

KNN Final Project: Predicting Similarity and Performance Optimization

Students will design and build a K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) model from scratch to solve a classification problem. The assignment involves selecting a dataset, implementing various distance metrics (Euclidean, Manhattan), performing cross-validation to find the optimal 'k' value, and handling data normalization. The final report must include an analysis of how different distance metrics and data scaling techniques impact the model's performance.
