How Neighborly is K-Nearest Neighbors to GIS Pros?

Towards AI

Now, in the realm of geographic information systems (GIS), professionals often experience a complex interplay of emotions akin to the love-hate relationship one might have with neighbors. Enter K Nearest Neighbor (k-NN), a technique that personifies the very essence of propinquity and Neighborly dynamics.

Generative vs Discriminative AI: Understanding the 5 Key Differences

Data Science Dojo

A visual representation of discriminative AI – Source: Analytics Vidhya Discriminative modeling, often linked with supervised learning, works on categorizing existing data. Generative AI often operates in unsupervised or semi-supervised learning settings, generating new data points based on patterns learned from existing data.
