Lazy Learning by Scanning Memory Image Lattice

SMILE (Scanning Memory Image LatticE) is a lazy learning framework based on a memory image lattice scanning technique. To classify an unseen instance, the instances in the training set will generate a memory image lattice in terms of the similarities between the training instances and the unseen instance. An exploration algorithm of memory image lattice is designed to search an appropriate set of images of training instances to produce the final prediction. SMILE differs from other lazy learning algorithms in that it utilizes subsets of attribute values as much as possible. This design leads to a more flexible model which is less sensitive to data
