Data Science and Machine Learning (Theory and Projects) A to Z - NumPy for Numerical Data Processing: NumPy KNN Classifi

The video tutorial explains the K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) classifier, focusing on implementing it from scratch using Numpy. It covers the concept of feature vectors, Euclidean distance, and the process of creating a train-test split. The tutorial demonstrates how to calculate distances between data points using Numpy's powerful indexing and broadcasting capabilities. Finally, it shows how to classify data points using the KNN algorithm, highlighting the use of the mode function from SciPy to determine the most frequent class among the nearest neighbors.
