Learning in Nonstationary Environments: A Survey
TL;DR: In such nonstationary environments, where the probabilistic properties of the data change over time, a non-adaptive model trained under the false stationarity assumption is bound to become obsolete in time, and perform sub-optimally at best, or fail catastrophically at worst.

Abstract: The prevalence of mobile phones, the internet-of-things technology, and networks of sensors has led to an enormous and ever increasing amount of data that are now more commonly available in a streaming fashion [1]-[5]. Often, it is assumed - either implicitly or explicitly - that the process generating such a stream of data is stationary, that is, the data are drawn from a fixed, albeit unknown probability distribution. In many real-world scenarios, however, such an assumption is simply not true, and the underlying process generating the data stream is characterized by an intrinsic nonstationary (or evolving or drifting) phenomenon. The nonstationarity can be due, for example, to seasonality or periodicity effects, changes in the users' habits or preferences, hardware or software faults affecting a cyber-physical system, thermal drifts or aging effects in sensors. In such nonstationary environments, where the probabilistic properties of the data change over time, a non-adaptive model trained under the false stationarity assumption is bound to become obsolete in time, and perform sub-optimally at best, or fail catastrophically at worst.

TL;DR: This paper proposes a new ensemble model which combines both classifiers and clusters together for mining data streams, and presents a label propagation method to infer each cluster's class label by making full use of both class label information from classifiers, and internal structure information from clusters.

TL;DR: Improved Just-in-time Adaptive Classifiers by integrating temporal information about the state of the process under monitoring is improved and an index for the process deviation is defined which, coupled with an adaptive weighted k-NN classifier, shows to be particularly effective in dealing with smooth process drifts and ageing phenomena.
