Modern machine learning algorithms must be able to fast consume data streams, maintaining accurate results, even with the presence of concept drift. This work proposes AFXGB, an Adaptive Fast binary classification algorithm using XGBoost, focusing on the fast induction of labeled data streams. AFXGB uses an alternate model training strategy to achieve lean models adapted to concept drift. We compared AFXGB with other data stream classifiers using synthetic and real datasets. The results showed that AFXGB is four times faster than ARF and 22 times faster than AXGB, maintaining the same accuracy and with the fastest recovery from concept drifts, thus preserving long-term accuracy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
