Classification Based on the Optimal K-Associated Network

  • Conference paper
Complex Sciences (Complex 2009)

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new graph-based classifier which uses a special network, referred to as optimal K-associated network, for modeling data. The K-associated network is capable of representing (dis)similarity relationships among data samples and data classes. Here, we describe the main properties of the K-associated network as well as the classification algorithm based on it. Experimental evaluation indicates that the model based on an optimal K-associated network captures topological structure of the training data leading to good results on the classification task particularly for noisy data.
