Framework for storing and processing relational entities in stream mining

Abstract

Relational stream mining involves learning a model on relational entities, which are enriched with information from further streams that reference them. To incorporate such information into the entities in an efficient incremental way, we propose a multi-threaded framework with a weighting function that prioritizes the entities delivered to the learner for learning and adaption to drift. We further propose a generator for drifting relational streams, and use it to show that our framework reaches substantial reduction of computation time. © Springer-Verlag 2013.
