A Universally Consistent 1-Nearest-Neighbor Algorithm
Abstract:
We show a 1-Nearest-Neighbor algorithm that is universally strongly-Bayes-consistent in all metric spaces where such a learner exists. This is the first learning algorithm known to enjoy this property. Joint work with Steve Hanneke, Aryeh Kontorovich, and Roi Weiss.
