Abstract
The use of distance functions in order to determine nearest instance class at Memory Based Learning methods may be crucial when there are no exact matchings. We add relative information over unknown feature values to improve the information extract on the training instances. An experiment was carried out for Spanish Part-Of-Speech tagging of unknown words finding a better performance with our modified function.
