ABSTRACT:

The concept of the data stream has emerged as a result of the evolution of technologies in various fields for instance: banking, electronic commerce, social media, and many others. It represents the sequence of data examples that are generated at a very high speed which can be hard to be stored in memory. Thus, it became hard to extract valuable information from the continuous data stream using traditional data mining. Data Stream Mining DSM algorithms should fulfil some requirements such as limited memory, concept drift detection, and one scan processing. Concept Drift must be tracked to avoid poor performance and inaccurate results of predictive models. It refers to the changing in the data stream distributions due to several reasons including the changes in the environment, individual preferences, or adversary activities. In this paper, we will analyze the classification algorithms handling concept drift for DSM. Also, popular concept drift datasets, data stream tools, and evaluation measures will be presented.

Introduction

Nowadays, millions of people around the world share data anywhere and anytime. The emerging technologies in telecommunications, entertainments industry, social media sites, banking services, and other applications have led to the massive growth of generated data stream. The data stream can be referred to the sequence of data examples that produced at a very high rate and arrive continuously at a potentially infinite stream. According to the “10 Key Marketing Trends For 2017” report,” 90% of the data in the world has been produced in the last two years only, 2.5 quintillion bytes each day (Web-1). As a result, the massive amount of data cannot be stored for farther processing and mining. So, the data stream mining concept has emerged to extract the knowledge from the data stream and provide real-time processing. However, it has some constraints that must cope with such as and concept drift, limited memory, and one scan of the data. Concept Drift is referring to the changes in data concepts over time. This may result in wrong predictions and inaccurate results. In non-stationary environments, learning a model from unstable data can result in inaccurate results and predictions. The underlying data distribution may change, so the model will not be consistent with the new data anymore. For example, predicting a customer’s behavior toward shopping, where her/his preferences have been changed. Thus, this will produce wrong results based on old data. So, concept drift must be handled and tracked using detecting methods that can cope with the data stream.

Data stream mining with concept drift handling were highly studied last decade. There are many surveys studies have literature the data stream mining from different perspectives. The authors in (Gama et al., 2014) have surveyed the state-of-the-art adaptive learning algorithms with concept drift detection. They have addressed the concept drift through various applications and highlighted several evaluation techniques. In (Khamassi
et al., 2016) the authors have presented general criteria to help researchers in designing their concept drift handling methods. They have categorized the existing concept drift algorithms according to these criteria. Also, 14 drift detectors have been evaluated in (Barros and Santos, 2018) using six artificial datasets and compared in term of accuracy and detection. The authors have used Naive Bayes (NB) and Hoeffding Tree classifiers to test the drift detectors.

In this study, we will present the data stream mining components. We will address the problem of concept drift in classification algorithms and highlight the exciting state of art handling methods. Besides, the most used datasets, tools, and evaluation methods will be presented. This rest of this research is organized as follows. In Section 2 we will discuss the concept of data stream mining. In Section 3, DSM components will be presented. The most used dataset and evaluation methods in data stream mining studies will be presented in Section 4 and Section 5 respectively. Section 6, will present DSM tools and conclude the study in Section 7.

Data Stream Mining

Learning a model is considered as an essential step in data mining and machine learning (Mittal and Kashyap, 2016). Previously, it was done in static environments where the whole datasets are available, stored and can be accessed many times. On the contrary, learning from massive datasets in non-stationary environments which has become a challenging area. The huge generation of continuous data in everyday applications has emerged the concept of data stream.

The data stream is a sequence of potentially non-stop data instances that can be read and processed only once. As technologies evolving, traditional data mining has become hard to deal with the stream of data on the Internet of Things IoT, web searches, banking transactions and many more (Gaber, 2011). Thus, the data stream mining has become an attractive research area. Data stream mining refers to the process of finding knowledge and valuable pattern in continuous, potentially infinite, and high-volume data streams. It plays an essential role in predictive modeling and decision-making. Data stream mining has serval challenges that must be overcome including the following:

  • Resource constraints: the data stream is potentially infinite, huge and comes in high speed, so it is hard to be stored in a memory. Also, the processing time must be as shorter as possible (Kantardzic, 2011).
  • One scan: data stream cannot be accessed randomly or many times (Kantardzic, 2011).
  • Data preprocessing: Since data is continuously arriving, it is not feasible to use manual data preprocessing methods. it should be fully automated and automatically updated as data evolving (Krempl et al., 2014).
  • Privacy and confidentiality: the data stream is infinite and comes in portions, so the information will not be incomplete. In this case, it is hard to judge the privacy of a model that has a data stream as input (Krempl et al., 2014).
  • Concept drift: data instance may change over time.

Data Stream Mining Components

The massive data stream can be generated from social media applications such as Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest (Mohanty et al., 2015). Also, the health, economic, financial industry, and many others. The process of the data stream mining involves several components as shown in Figure 1 including the streaming data as input, estimator, data mining algorithm, drift detection and the extracted knowledge as output.

Figure 1. The Main Components of Data Stream Mining Figure 1: The Main Components of Data Stream Mining


Input

The data stream can be generated from different sources such as web searches, social media posts, real-time surveillance systems, banking activities, and other non-stationary environments.

Estimators

Estimation is a critical step that prepares the data stream to the knowledge extraction process. Data stream examples must be processed in real time due to its high speed. Also, it cannot all be stored in a memory. So, Estimation methods are needed to select a subset of the arriving data stream. It can be categorized into data-based and task-based techniques as shown in Table 1.

Table 1: Estimation Method (Zˇliobaite et al., 2016).

Data Stream Classification and Concept Drift

Data Stream Classification

Classification is a supervised machine learning algorithm. It uses the past data (training set) to build a model and then (2) use it to predict class labels (testing set) (Han et al., 2012). Classification algorithms in non-stationary environments must fulfill the data stream requirements regarding the processing time, limited memory and one-time scan. In the dynamic environment, some instances in streaming data may change over time because of the high velocity and limited memory, and this called concept drift. It is the changes in data distribution of the output given the input, while the distribution of the input may stay unchanged (Gama et al., 2014). For example, predicting a customer’s behavior toward shopping, where her/his preferences have been changed. Thus, this will produce wrong results based on old data.

Concept Drift

Concept drift occurs between two points of time t0 and t1 when the joint distribution of x(independent variable) and y( target variable) at time t0 is not equal to the joint distribution of (x,y) in t1 (Gama et al., 2014). It can be represented as:

pt0(X, y) ≠ pt1(X, y). (1)

Concept drifts may occur if there is a change in: (1) the prior probabilities of classes p(y), (2) the class-conditional probability distributions p(X,y), or (3) the posterior probabilities p(y|X).

Concept drift in the data stream may happen due to different reasons such as the changes in environment, individual preferences, or adversary activities (Zˇliobaite et al., 2016). It may happen in different forms as shown in Figure 3: (1) sudden drift: when a concept changes to another abruptly, (2) incremental drift: when there are many intermediate concepts in between, (3) gradual drift: when the concepts emerge in un suddenly way over time, and (4) reoccurring drift: when old concepts reappear after some time.

Data stream classification algorithms can be categorized into single classifiers and ensembles algorithms. Regarding concept drift adaptation, some algorithms update their classifiers continuously in the occurrence of drift or not. Others algorithms trigger changes in the classifier whenever a drift is detected (Gama et al., 2014).

Data Stream Classification Algorithms with concept drift

Data stream classification algorithms with concept drift can be classified into single classifier algorithms and ensemble algorithms.

Single classifier

Some single classifier algorithms observe and detect the drift in the data distribution by using statistical methods and keep track of the base classifier performance (Mittal and Kashyap, 2016). In case of discovering drift, it will alarm the base classifier to update it or rebuilt it such as:

  • The authors in (Gama et al., 2004) have designed the Drift Detection Method (DDM) that monitors the classifier error-rate. If the error rate reaches the warning and drift level, then we can observe that a data distribution has been changed.
  • DDM detector has been modified into an improved version named Early Drift Detection Method (EDDM) in (Baena-Garcıa et al., 2006). EDDM used to detect gradual drift that emerge slowly by considering the distances between the classification errors.
  • Reactive Drift Detection Method (RDDM) is another modified version of DDM (Barros et al., 2017). The proposed Algorithm has overcome the problem of performance loss of DDM by discarding the older examples. It periodically recalculates the DMM calculations that determine the alarm and drift levels. Also, the drift occurs whenever the number of examples in the alarm level reached the threshold.

Other algorithms detect concept drift using windowing techniques by comparing the distributions the windows such as:

  • ADWIN (Bifet and Gavald, 2007) detects the different types of changes using sliding windows with the most recent examples. Concept drift can be observed if the means between two sub-windows is greater than the threshold. As the window grows, the processing time becomes longer. Thus, authors have proposed a developed version called ADWEN2 to satisfy the memory and time requirements.
  • Concept adapting very fast decision tree is another algorithms that use single classifier (Hulten et al., 2001). It extended the VFDT algorithm with the ability to detect the concept drift. Also, employs sliding window to keep the classifier updated with the recent instances.
  • Authors in (Du et al., 2014) have proposed a window-based algorithm called ADDM where the size of the window is dynamically determined. It detects the concept drift by keeping track the entropy of the window. It reports a concept drift when the entropy is equal one. ADDM has been evaluated using seven datasets containing different types of concept drift. It showed good performance in detecting drift comparing to other methods. Also, it obtained high accuracy.
  • The authors in (Liu et al., 2017) have proposed a fuzzy windowing method to adapt concept drift, named FW-DA. The proposed algorithm reports a drift when there is a significant difference between the test statistics of the current window and the old window.
  • The authors in (Nishida and Yamauchi, 2007) have proposed STEPD algorithm that considers the accuracy of two windows recent and old. Drift is discovered if there is a significant difference between the two windows which calculated through a statistical test.
  • The authors in (Pesaranghader and Viktor, 2016) have proposed Fast Hoeffding Drift Detection Method (FHDDM). The proposed method monitors the probabilities of correct predictions over the sliding window. It compares the maximum and the most recent probabilities and observes the change if the differences between these probabilities equal or exceed the threshold.

Ensemble Classifiers

In this approach

The algorithms use a set of classifiers where each classifier is assigned a weight and adapting to the changes by updating its components and its associated weights (Mittal and Kashyap, 2016) such as:

  • DWM (Kolter and Maloof, 2003) maintains a set of experts, each of them assigned to a weight. When an instance arrives, it passed to an expert and then returned with a local prediction. DWM determine the global prediction using the local predictions and expert weights.
  • The AUE2 algorithm (Brzezinski and Stefanowski, 2014) is another method that partition the data stream into chunks, and each chunk contains a set of examples. For every arriving chunk, a classifier associated with a weight will be created.
  • Each classifier performance is evaluated by calculating the error rate on data chunk to determine the worst performing classifiers.
  • In addition, two classifiers can be ensembled to form a detection system to detect both sudden and gradual drift (Jadhav and Deshpande, 2017). It composed of two classifiers online classifier and block-based classifier. Whenever data instance arrives, the online classifier updates itself, so any occurrence of sudden changes can be detected. While, block-based classifier work on blocks of data instances, which can observe the gradual changes. The classifiers error rate will be calculated to detect the changes. The drift can be observed if the value of the error rate is the same for the next blocks of the data stream.
  • Double-Window-based Classification Algorithm DWCDS is another window-based method used to detect changes in data stream (Zhu et al., 2010). It detects the concept drift by checking the data distributions periodically. The proposed algorithm starts with generating decision trees using the data in the sliding window. If a concept drift is observed, then the model of DWCDS will be updated.
  • Moreover, the authors in (Bach and Maloof, 2008) have proposed paired learner (PL) algorithm that ensemble two classifier; stable and reactive. The stable classifier used to predict based on its overall experience, while the reactive classifier predicts based on the recent window. Pl observes the distributional changes by comparing the performance of these two classifiers.

All the mentioned algorithms are summarized in Table 2.

Evaluation Measures

The following list presents the well-known evaluation measure for classification data stream algorithms:

  • Accuracy score: It is calculated by dividing the number of correct predictions by the total classifier’s predictions (Han et al., 2012).
  • Recall: It refers to as the true positive rate (Han et al., 2012).
  • CPU Time: It measures the total runtime of the CPU in training and testing the classifier (Dhaliwal and Bhatia, 2017).
  • Memory: It measures the total memory consumed to run the classifier and store the running statistics (Dhaliwal and Bhatia, 2017).
  • Kappa Statistic: It measures the homogeneity among the classifiers (Dhaliwal and Bhatia, 2017).

The concept drift detection can be assessed through different measures such as:

  • The probability of true change detection: It measures the algorithms ability to discover drifts when they occur (Gama et al., 2014).
  • Delay time of detection: It measures the time would be passed before the change is detected (Gama
    et al., 2014).

Data Stream Mining Tools

The most popular tools used in data stream environment are listed below:

  • Weka: it provides a set of data mining and machine learning algorithms. These algorithms can be implemented directly on datasets through Weka GUI or Import Weka Java library (Web-1).
  • MOA: is a project developed in University of Waikato, New Zealand. It provides an environment to deal with data stream, run experiments, and implement data stream mining algorithms (Bifet et al., 2010).
  • SAMOA: Scalable Advanced Massive Online Analysis is an open source tool provides the well-known data stream and machine learning algorithms (Morales and Bifet, 2015).
  • Apache Storm: an open source platform for processing infinite streams of data. It is scalable and fast which make it suitable to produce immediate analytics, and perform online machine learning (Web-6).
