Concept Drift Identification using Classifier Ensemble Approach

Abstract

Abstract:-In Internetworking system, the huge amount of data is scattered, generated and processed over the network. The data mining techniques are used to discover the unknown pattern from the underlying data. A traditional classification model is used to classify the data based on past labelled data. However in many current applications, data is increasing in size with fluctuating patterns. Due to this new feature may arrive in the data. It is present in many applications like sensornetwork, banking and telecommunication systems, financial domain, Electricity usage and prices based on its demand and supplyetc .Thus change in data distribution reduces the accuracy of classifying the data. It may discover some patterns as frequent while other patterns tend to disappear and wrongly classify. To mine such data distribution, traditionalclassification techniques may not be suitable as the distribution generating the items can change over time so data from the past may become irrelevant or even false for the current prediction. For handlingsuch varying pattern of data, concept drift mining approach is used to improve the accuracy of classification techniques. In this paper we have proposed ensemble approach for improving the accuracy of classifier. The ensemble classifier is applied on 3 different data sets. We investigated different features for the different chunk of data which is further given to ensemble classifier. We observed the proposed approach improves the accuracy of classifier for different chunks of data.
