    Talk Title: STREAM DATA MINING: A BIG DATA PERSPECTIVE

    Series: Artificial Intelligence Seminar

    Abstract: Data streams are continuous flows of data. Examples of data streams include network traffic, sensor data, call center records and so on. Data streams demonstrate several unique properties that together conform to the characteristics of big data (i.e., volume, velocity, variety and veracity) and add challenges to data stream mining. In this talk we will present an organized picture on how to handle various data mining techniques in data streams. Most existing data stream classification techniques ignore one important aspect of stream data: arrival of a novel class. We address this issue and propose a data stream classification technique that integrates a novel class detection mechanism into traditional classifiers, enabling automatic detection of novel classes before the true labels of the novel class instances arrive. Novel class detection problem becomes more challenging in the presence of concept-drift, when the underlying data distributions evolve in streams. In this talk we will show how to make fast and correct classification decisions under this constraint with limited labeled training data and apply them to real benchmark data. In addition, we will present a number of stream classification applications such as adaptive malicious code detection, website fingerprinting, evolving insider threat detection and textual stream classification.
