Abstract

This chapter delves into the optimization of the Principal Directions algorithm using genetic algorithms and K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) for enhanced data classification. The study focuses on the integration of these techniques to improve the selection of informative eigenvectors and evaluate their efficiency in digital image classification tasks. The experimental analysis involves evaluating the algorithm on various image datasets, including MNIST, Fashion-MNIST, CIFAR-10, and COVID-19 X-Ray images. The results demonstrate the algorithm's competitive performance compared to standard methods, with a strong balance between accuracy and computational cost. Statistical validation through ANOVA and Wilcoxon Signed-Rank tests confirms the algorithm's effectiveness, showing significant improvements over traditional KNN and genetic algorithm-based classifiers. The chapter concludes with a discussion on the potential future applications of this approach in multilayer neural network architectures for enhanced image recognition capabilities.
