nearest neighbors
Most proximate elements
Nearest neighbors refers to points in a dataset that are closest to a given point, measured by some distance metric.
In machine learning, the k-nearest neighbors algorithm classifies new data by looking at which category its closest neighbors belong to: The algorithm identified the tumor as benign based on its nearest neighbors.
The concept extends to any situation where proximity determines relevance—recommendation systems find your nearest neighbors among other users to suggest what you might like.
