  • Abstract
    This paper addresses two types of problems which prove difficult for traditional classifiers: having very limited training data for at least one class, and having classes with a large amount of overlap. Issues discussed will include the (1) use of nearest neighbor methods and neural nets for classification of data which is completely inseparable by linear and quadratic classifiers, (2) dealing with training sets of unequal size from each class
