On Reducing Classifier Granularity in Mining Concept-Drifting Data Streams Peng Wang, H. Wang, X. Wu, W. Wang, and B. Shi Proc. of the Fifth IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM’ 05) Speaker: Yu Jiun Liu Date : 2006/9/26

Introduction o State of the art n n o The incrementally updated classifiers. The ensemble classifiers. Model Granularity n n Traditional : monolithic This paper : semantic decomposition

Motivation o o The model is decomposable into smaller components. The decomposition is semantic-aware in the sense.

Monolithic Models o o o Stream : Attributes : Class Label : Window : Model (Classifier) : Ci

Rule-based Models o A rule form : minsup = 0. 3 and minconf = 0. 8 Valid rules of W 1 are: o Valid rules of W 3 are: o o

Algorithm o Phase 1 : Initialization n n o Use the first w records to train all valid rules for window W 1. Construct the RS-tree and REC-tree. Phase 2 : Update n n When record arrives, insert it into the REC-tree and update the sup. and conf. of the rules matched by it. Delete oldest record and update the value matched by it.

Data Structure

RS-Tree o o o A prefix tree with attribute order Each node N represents a unique rule R : P Ci N’ (P’ Cj) is a child node of N, iff:

REC-Tree o o Each record r as a sequence Node N points to rule in the RS-tree if :

Detecting Concept Drifts o percentage V. S. the distribution of the misclassified records. The percentage approach cannot tell us which part of the classifier gives rise to the inaccuracy.
