Lazy Instance-based Learning Algorithm

A Lazy Instance-based Learning Algorithm is a Lazy Learning Algorithm that is also an Instance-based Learning Algorithm.

• AKA: Supervised Instance-based Learning Algorithm, Lazy Instance-based Algorithm.
• Context:
  • The algorithm lazily postpones any work until an event that is to be predicted is presented.
  • The algorithm bases its prediction on the instances that are most Similar to the Test Case.
• Example(s):
  • a k-Nearest Neighbor Algorithm, such as the IB1 Algorithm.
• See: Instance-based Learning Algorithm, Eager Instance-based Learning Algorithm.
