ANISH SINGH commented on MADLIB-927:
------------------------------------
Hello Rahul Sir,
I'm Anish, a sophomore CSE student. Last winter, I decided to develop a share
price prediction program and started work on it. I decided to use Apache Spark
ml libraries, but they did not contain a default implementation of k-NN
algorithm and it has not been developed as of now. I extensively studied papers
about the algorithm and find myself in a suitable position to work on this
project for the entire Summer. I would like to request to be guided further
about the issue so that I can study more about it and draw up my proposal. The
completion of the project would facilitate my previous attempts at the share
price prediction program.
Thank You.

> k-Nearest Neighbors is a very simple algorithm that is based on finding
> nearest neighbors of data points in a metric feature space according to a
> specified distance function. It is considered one of the canonical algorithms
> of data science. It is a nonparametric method, which makes it applicable to a
> lot of real-world problems, where the data doesn’t satisfy particular
> distribution assumptions. Also, it can be implemented as a lazy algorithm,
> which means there is no training phase where information in the data is
> condensed into coefficients, but there is a costly testing phase where all
> data is used to make predictions.
> This JIRA involves implementing the naïve approach - i.e. compute the k
> nearest neighbors by going through all points.
