The proposed probabilistic method, SELeCT, enables learning in changing conditions by continuously evaluating the relevance of past experience. It maintains distinct internal states for each concept, representing relevant experience with a unique classifier. The algorithm estimates state relevance using a Bayesian approach that combines the likelihood of recent observations and a transition pattern prior based on the system’s current state.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
A new approach is needed to handle changing conditions in streaming data, where only a subset of previous experience is relevant. SELeCT can learn from recurring concepts by maintaining separate internal states for each concept and evaluating their relevance over time. This method outperforms existing approaches that do not consider experience relevance or only evaluate it sparsely.
