The proposed Act-Now framework aims to address the limitations of existing online forecasting methods by introducing a novel online learning approach. The current methods neglect the update frequency of streaming data, directly using labels to update the model, which can lead to information leakage. Furthermore, eliminating this leakage can exacerbate concept drift and damage prediction accuracy. To tackle these issues, Act-Now incorporates Random Subgraph Sampling (RSS), Fast Stream Buffer (FSB), Slow Stream Buffer (SSB), Label Decomposition (Lade) with statistical and normalization flows, and online updates on the validation set to ensure consistent model learning. The framework demonstrates an average performance improvement of 28.4% and 19.5%, respectively, in extensive experiments.

The Act-Now framework is a new way to predict things that will happen based on data that comes in over time. Right now, there are problems with how we do this, like using too much information at once or not updating our predictions correctly. To fix these issues, the framework uses different techniques, like taking small samples of the data and using it to train a model. It also has special buffers to help keep track of what’s happening in the data and how to make good predictions. This makes Act-Now better than other methods at predicting what will happen next.
