Title
Learning Under Concept Drift Using A Neuro-Evolutionary Ensemble
Abstract
This work describes the use of a weighted ensemble of neural network classifiers for adaptive learning. We train the neural networks by means of a quantum-inspired evolutionary algorithm (QIEA). The QIEA is also used to determine the best weights for each classifier belonging to the ensemble when a new block of data arrives. After running several simulations using two dffirent datasets and performing two diferent analysis of the results, we show that the proposed algorithm, named neuro-evolutionary ensemble (NEVE), was able to learn the data set and to quickly respond to any drifts on the underlying data, indicating that our model can be a good alternative to address concept drift problems. We also compare the results obtained by our model with an existing algorithm, Learn++. NSE, in two difirent nonstationary scenarios.
