Abstract:

A weight computation policy based on confidence is presented to deal with the problem in the sub-classifier's weight in dynamic data stream ensemble classification. The policy fully considers influence of the sample on the weight of the sub-classifier. Uncertainty of the prediction result is described by information entropy, and relationship between the classifier confidence and the samples established. Thus, the computation method of classifier's confidence is defined. According to the requirements of dynamic data stream classification and traits of concept drift, a dynamic weight ensemble model is built by batch learning and time policy. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show feasibility of the presented schema, which is better than traditional methods.

Key words: ensemble learning, confidence, data stream classification, concept drift
