To classify something, find things that are similar and label it with the same class as the most similar thing. The feature space is \(N-d\), where \(N\) is the number of features. Each instance is mapped to a point. The descriptive features become the axes. The Similarity MetricMathematically, it must conform to these 4 criteria:

Why are non-negativity and triangular inequality important? It seems that we should think of the similarity metric as a measure of “distance”. Distance between two instances obeys the non-negativity & triangular inequality conditions. ... |

WWW ‘21: The Web Conference 2021REST: Relational Event-Driven Stock Trend ForecastingREST, an event-driven stock trend forecasting framework, that overcomes two limitations of existing event-driven models. Models the stock context, and learns the effect of event information on the stocks under different contexts. Constructs a stock graph and designs a new propagation layer to propagate the effect of event information from related stocks. #stock-trend-forecasting #computational-finance The value of stock trend forecasting is not unanimous, e.g. Malkiel contends that forecasting is a fool’s game , while Simon’s RenTech is all about the math . But it seems like the question is an empirical one, and therefore, a good answer should exist. Why are there opposing camps? ... |
