Drift Adaptation via Joint Distribution Alignment
Bin Zhang, Jie Lü, Guangquan Zhang · 2019
Machine learning in evolving environment faces challenges due to concept drift. Most concept drift adaptation methods focus on modifying the model. In this paper, a method, Drift Adaptation via Joint Distribution Alignment (DAJDA), is proposed. DAJDA performs a linear transformation to the drift instances instead of modifying model. Instances are transformed into a common feature space, reducing the discrepancy of distributions before and after drift. Experimental studies show that DAJDA has abilities to improve the performance of learning model under concept drift.
