------------------------------------

Hi [[email protected]],

Could you tell me about progress of approximate k-NN implementation? Because 
the costs of an exact k-NN implementation is expensive, I think implementing 
approximate k-NN should be first.

[~erich.schubert] posted his work about k-NN approximation 
(http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-18123-3_2). It would help 
us to discuss and implement this.

> kNN is still a widely used algorithm for classification and regression. 
> However, due to the computational costs of an exact implementation, it does 
> not scale well to large amounts of data. Therefore, it is worthwhile to also 
> add an approximative kNN implementation as proposed in [1,2].
