Abstract

Despite the relatively maturity of batch-mode supervised learning research, in which the data typifies stationary problems, many real world applications deal with data streams whose statistical properties change over time, causing what is known as concept drift. For such applications a large body of research has been done in the last years, with the objective of creating new models that are accurate even in the presence of concept drift. However, most of them assume that, once the classifier algorithm labels an event, its actual label become available. This project researches and shows solutions belonging to a new paradigm, where the unlabeled data is drifted back to its originally learned distribution. Such new paradigm allows an effective use of machine learning in the presence of concept drift, even when the actual labels are never available, keeping high performance both in accuracy and computational cost. Partial results serve as evidence of the viability of this paradigm. (AU)
