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 mining. In this first part of this talk, we will present an organized picture on how to handle various data mining/machine learning techniques in data streams.
In the second part, we aim to address the open challenge of Online Adaptive Metric Learning for learning adaptive metric functions on-the-fly. We present a new online metric learning framework that attempts to tackle the challenge by learning an ANN-based metric with adaptive model complexity from a stream of constraints. We empirically validate the effectiveness and efficacy of our framework on various applications such as real-world image classification, facial verification, and image retrieval.
