Title: Concept Drift Systems
Abstract
The purpose of this presentation is to conduct a review of concept
drift with reference to machine learning. A concept is defined as a
quantity that needs to be predicted where the concept is unstable and
its changes over a certain period of time. Common types of concepts are
weather patterns, customer preferences, temperature and behavioural
changes. The underlying data distribution that is used in explaining
concepts will also be subject to some changes as a result of the
unstable nature of concepts. Such changes in the underlying data
distribution cause the models built on old data to be inconsistent with
the new concept’s data which will lead to the updating of the model.
This creates a problem known as concept drift which complicates the
task of learning the new model and the new data that makes up the
concept. A lot of researchers have designed and implemented many
algorithms; therefore, these algorithms must be ranked to facilitate to
the users and developers their chooses. After ranking these algorithms,
we will try to combine two algorithms to provide the best possible
algorithm.
