Abstract
Adaptive machine learning has increasing importance due to its ability to classify a data stream and handle the changes in the data distribution. Various resources, such as wearable sensors and medical devices, can generate a data stream with an imbalanced distribution of classes. Many popular oversampling techniques have been designed for imbalanced batch data rather than a continuous stream. This work proposes a self-adjusting window to improve the adaptive classification of an imbalanced data stream based on minimizing cluster distortion. It includes two models; the first chooses only the previous data instances that preserve the coherence of the current chunk's samples. The second model relaxes the strict filter by excluding the examples of the last chunk. Both models include generating synthetic points for oversampling rather than the actual data points. The evaluation of the proposed models using the Siena EEG dataset showed their ability to improve the performance of several adaptive classifiers. The best results have been obtained using Adaptive Random Forest in which Sensitivity reached 96.83% and Precision reached 99.96%.
