Abstract/Summary

Data streams are unbounded, sequential data instances that are generated with high velocity. Classifying sequential data instances is a very challenging problem in machine learning with applications in network intrusion detection, financial markets and sensor networks. Data stream classification is concerned with the automatic labelling of unseen instances from the stream in real-time. For this the classifier needs to adapt to concept drifts and can only have a single pass through the data if the stream is fast. This research paper presents our work on a real-time pre-processing technique, in particular a feature tracking technique that takes concept drift into consideration. The feature tracking technique is designed to improve Data Stream Mining (DSM) classification algorithms by enabling real-time feature selection. The technique is based on adaptive summaries of the data and class distributions, known as Micro-Clusters. Currently the technique is able to detect concept drift and identifies which features have been involved.
