Combining Robustness and Flexibility in Learning Drifting Concepts

چکیده
The paper deals with incremental concept learning from classiied examples. In many real-world applications, the target concepts of interest may change over time, and incremental learners should be able to track such changes and adapt to them. The problem is known in the literature as concept drift. The paper presents a new method for learning in such changing environments. In particular, it addresses the problem of learning drifting concepts from noisy data. We present an algorithm that is both robust against noise and quick at recognizing and adapting to changes in the target concepts. The method has been implemented in a system named FLORA4, the latest member of a whole family of learning algorithms. Experiments demonstrate signiicant improvement over previous results, both in noise-free and noisy situations.

An adaptive ensemble classifier for mining concept drifting data streams
Traditional data mining techniques cannot be directly applied to the real-time data streaming environment. Existing mining classifiers therefore need to be updated frequently to adopt the changes in data streams. In this paper, we address this issue and propose an adaptive ensemble approach for classification and novel class detection in concept-drifting data streams. The proposed approach uses...

متن کاملGradual Forgetting for Adaptation to Concept Drift
The paper presents a method for gradual forgetting, which is applied for learning drifting concepts. The approach suggests the introduction of a time-based forgetting function, which makes the last observations more significant for the learning algorithms than the old ones. The importance of examples decreases with time. Namely, the forgetting function provides each training example with a weig...
متن کاملAdaptation to Drifting User's Interests
In recent years, many systems have been developed which aim at helping users to find pieces of information or other objects that are in accordance with their personal interests. In these systems, machine learning methods are often used to acquire the user interest profile. Frequently user interests drift with time. The ability to adapt fast to the current user's interests is an important featur...
متن کاملEnsemble clustering with a fuzzy approach
Ensemble clustering is a novel research field that extends to unsupervised learning the approach originally developed for classification and supervised learning problems. In particular ensemble clustering methods have been developed to improve the robustness and accuracy of clustering algorithms, as well as the ability to capture the structure of complex data. In many clustering applications an...
