基于概念漂移检测的网络数据流分类

互联网环境日新月异,使得网络数据流中存在概念漂移,对数据流的分类也由传统的静态分类变为动态分类,而如何对概念漂移进行检测是动态分类的关键。本文提出一种基于概念漂移检测的网络数据流自适应分类算法,通过比较滑动窗口中数据与历史数据的分布差异来检测概念漂移,然后将窗口中数据过采样来减少样本间的不均衡性,最后将处理后的数据集输入到OS-ELM分类器中进行在线学习,从而更新分类器使其应对数据流中的概念漂移。本文在MOA实验平台中使用合成数据集和真实数据集对提出的算法进行验证,结果表明,该算法较集成学习算法在分类准确率和稳定性上有一定的提升,并且随着数据流量的增加,时间性能上的优势开始体现,适合复杂多变的网络环境。     

针对标记数据不足的数据流分类器

大部分数据流分类算法解决了数据流无限长度和概念漂移这两个问题。但是,这些算法需要人工专家将全部实例都标记好作为训练集来训练分类器,这在数据流高速到达并需要快速分类的环境中是不现实的,因为标记实例需要时间和成本。此时,如果采用监督学习的方法来训练分类器,由于标记数据稀少将得到一个弱分类器。提出一种基于主动学习的数据流分类算法,该算法通过选择全部实例中的一小部分来人工标记,其中这小部分实例是分类置信度较低的样本,从而可以极大地减少需要人工标记的实例数量。实验结果表明,该算法可以在数据流存在概念漂移情况下,使用较少的标记数据对数据流训练出分类器,并且分类效果良好。

概念漂移数据流分类中的多源在线迁移学习算法

现有概念漂移处理算法在检测到概念漂移发生后,通常需要在新到概念上重新训练分类器,同时“遗忘”以往训练的分类器。在概念漂移发生初期,由于能够获取到的属于新到概念的样本较少,导致新建的分类器在短时间内无法得到充分训练,分类性能通常较差。进一步,现有的基于在线迁移学习的数据流分类算法仅能使用单个分类器的知识辅助新到概念进行学习,在历史概念与新到概念相似性较差时,分类模型的分类准确率不理想。针对以上问题,文中提出一种能够利用多个历史分类器知识的数据流分类算法——CMOL。CMOL算法采取分类器权重动态调节机制,根据分类器的权重对分类器池进行更新,使得分类器池能够尽可能地包含更多的概念。实验表明,相较于其他相关算法,CMOL算法能够在概念漂移发生时更快地适应新到概念,显示出更高的分类准确率。

Mining data streams with concept drifts using genetic algorithm

Recent research shows that rule based models perform well while classifying large data sets such as data streams with concept drifts. A genetic algorithm is a strong rule based classification algorithm which is used only for mining static small data sets. If the genetic algorithm can be made scalable and adaptable by reducing its I/O intensity, it will become an efficient and effective tool for mining large data sets like data streams. In this paper a scalable and adaptable online genetic algorithm is proposed to mine classification rules for the data streams with concept drifts. Since the data streams are generated continuously in a rapid rate, the proposed method does not use a fixed static data set for fitness calculation. Instead, it extracts a small snapshot of the training example from the current part of data stream whenever data is required for the fitness calculation. The proposed method also builds rules for all the classes separately in a parallel independent iterative manner. This makes the proposed method scalable to the data streams and also adaptable to the concept drifts that occur in the data stream in a fast and more natural way without storing the whole stream or a part of the stream in a compressed form as done by the other rule based algorithms. The results of the proposed method are comparable with the other standard methods which are used for mining the data streams.     

一种面向不完全标记的文本数据流自适应分类方法

现实生活中网络监控、网络评论以及微博等应用领域涌现了大量文本数据流,这些数据的不完全标记和频繁概念漂移给已有的数据流分类方法带来了挑战。为此,面向不完全标记的文本数据流提出了一种自适应的数据流分类算法。该算法以一个标记数据块作为起始数据块,对未标记数据块首先提取标记数据块与未标记数据块之间的特征集,并利用特征在两个数据块间的相似度进行概念漂移检测,最后计算未标记数据中特征的极性并对数据进行预测。实验表明了算法在分类精度上的优越性,尤其在标记信息较少和概念漂移较为频繁时。     

Data stream classification with artificial endocrine system

Due to concept drifts, maintaining an up-to-date model is a challenging task for most of the current classification approaches used in data stream mining. Both the incremental classifiers and the ensemble classifiers spend most of their time in updating their temporary models and at the same time, a big sample buffer for training a classifier is necessary for most of them. These two drawbacks constrain further application in classifying a data stream. In this paper, we present a hormone based nearest neighbor classification algorithm for data stream classification, in which the classifier is updated every time a new record arrives. The records could be seen as locations in the feature space, and each location can accommodate only one endocrine cell. The classifier consists of endocrine cells on the boundaries of different classes. Every time a new record arrives, the cell that resides in the most unfit location will move to the new arrived record. In this way, the changing boundaries between different classes are recorded by the locations where endocrine cells reside in. The main advantages of the proposed method are the saving of the sample buffer and the improving of the classification accuracy. It is very important for conditions where the hardware resources are very expensive or the main memory is limited. Experiments on synthetic and real life data sets show that the proposed algorithm is able to classify data streams with less memory space and classification error.     

On the reliable detection of concept drift from streaming unlabeled data

Classifiers deployed in the real world operate in a dynamic environment, where the data distribution can change over time. These changes, referred to as concept drift, can cause the predictive performance of the classifier to drop over time, thereby making it obsolete. To be of any real use, these classifiers need to detect drifts and be able to adapt to them, over time. Detecting drifts has traditionally been approached as a supervised task, with labeled data constantly being used for validating the learned model. Although effective in detecting drifts, these techniques are impractical, as labeling is a difficult, costly and time consuming activity. On the other hand, unsupervised change detection techniques are unreliable, as they produce a large number of false alarms. The inefficacy of the unsupervised techniques stems from the exclusion of the characteristics of the learned classifier, from the detection process. In this paper, we propose the Margin Density Drift Detection (MD3) algorithm, which tracks the number of samples in the uncertainty region of a classifier, as a metric to detect drift. The MD3 algorithm is a distribution independent, application independent, model independent, unsupervised and incremental algorithm for reliably detecting drifts from data streams. Experimental evaluation on 6 drift induced datasets and 4 additional datasets from the cybersecurity domain demonstrates that the MD3 approach can reliably detect drifts, with significantly fewer false alarms compared to unsupervised feature based drift detectors. At the same time, it produces performance comparable to that of a fully labeled drift detector. The reduced false alarms enables the signaling of drifts only when they are most likely to affect classification performance. As such, the MD3 approach leads to a detection scheme which is credible, label efficient and general in its applicability.

A new method of mining data streams using harmony search

Incremental learning has been used extensively for data stream classification. Most attention on the data stream classification paid on non-evolutionary methods. In this paper, we introduce new incremental learning algorithms based on harmony search. We first propose a new classification algorithm for the classification of batch data called harmony-based classifier and then give its incremental version for classification of data streams called incremental harmony-based classifier. Finally, we improve it to reduce its computational overhead in absence of drifts and increase its robustness in presence of noise. This improved version is called improved incremental harmony-based classifier. The proposed methods are evaluated on some real world and synthetic data sets. Experimental results show that the proposed batch classifier outperforms some batch classifiers and also the proposed incremental methods can effectively address the issues usually encountered in the data stream environments. Improved incremental harmony-based classifier has significantly better speed and accuracy on capturing concept drifts than the non-incremental harmony based method and its accuracy is comparable to non-evolutionary algorithms. The experimental results also show the robustness of improved incremental harmony-based classifier.

Semi-Supervised Classification of Data Streams by BIRCH Ensemble and Local Structure Mapping

Many researchers have applied clustering to handle semi-supervised classification of data streams with concept drifts.However,the generalization ability for each specific concept cannot be steadily improved,and the concept drift detection method without considering the local structural information of data cannot accurately detect concept drifts.This paper proposes to solve these problems by BIRCH(Balanced Iterative Reducing and Clustering Using Hierarchies)ensemble and local structure mapping.The local structure mapping strategy is utilized to compute local similarity around each sample and combined with semi-supervised Bayesian method to perform concept detection.If a recurrent concept is detected,a historical BIRCH ensemble classifier is selected to be incrementally updated;otherwise a new BIRCH ensemble classifier is constructed and added into the classifier pool.The extensive experiments on several synthetic and real datasets demonstrate the advantage of the proposed algorithm.
