Online nearest neighbor classification

Machine Learning 2023-07-04 v1

Abstract

We study an instance of online non-parametric classification in the realizable setting. In particular, we consider the classical 1-nearest neighbor algorithm, and show that it achieves sublinear regret - that is, a vanishing mistake rate - against dominated or smoothed adversaries in the realizable setting.
