Graph-based kNN algorithms have garnered widespread popularity for machine learning tasks due to their simplicity and effectiveness. However, as factual data often inherit complex distributions, the conventional kNN graph's reliance on a unified k-value can hinder its performance. A crucial factor behind this challenge is the presence of ambiguous samples along decision boundaries that are inevitably more prone to incorrect classifications. To address the situation, we propose the Distribution-Informed adaptive kNN Graph (DaNNG), which combines adaptive kNN with distribution-aware graph construction. By incorporating an approximation of the distribution with customized k-adaption criteria, DaNNG can significantly improve performance on ambiguous samples, and hence enhance overall accuracy and generalization capability. Through rigorous evaluations on diverse benchmark datasets, DaNNG outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms, showcasing its adaptability and efficacy across various real-world scenarios.
