Universal Bayes consistency in metric spaces
度量空间中的普遍贝叶斯一致性
We extend a recently proposed 1-nearest-neighbor based multiclass learning algorithm and prove that our modification is universally strongly Bayes consistent in all metric spaces admitting any such learner, making it an “optimistically universal” Bayes-consistent learner. This is the first learning algorithm known to enjoy this property; by comparison, the k-NN classifier and its variants are not generally universally Bayes consistent, except under additional structural…
