CSR: Small: Dynamic Construction and Configuration of Classifier Topologies for Real-time Stream Mining Systems

本项目主要研究以下三个与实时流系统中的知识提取和数据挖掘相关的研究问题：流挖掘系统的新框架：该项目正在研究如何通过定义适当的本地和端到端目标函数，沿着资源和延迟约束来形式化从大容量流中提取大规模分布式知识的问题，这些约束将指导不同的优化和自适应算法。拓扑结构：该项目正在研究将分类器组织成映射到分布式基础设施的连接拓扑的方法。该研究首先研究线性链的分类器，然后试图将工作扩展到并行工作的多个链和分类器树。基于交互式多Agent学习的分散式解决方案：对于分类器分布在多个节点上的大规模流挖掘系统，该项目正在开发一个分散式决策框架和分布式算法，用于联合拓扑结构构建和局部分类器配置。在这种分布式场景中，优化端到端性能需要在每个站点部署交互式多代理解决方案，以确定每个分类器的决策对其他分类器的影响。

This project is investigating the following three research problems concerning knowledge extraction and data mining from real-time stream systems:Novel Framework for Stream Mining Systems: The project is studying how to formalize the problem of large scale distributed knowledge extraction from high volume streams by defining appropriate local and end-to-end objective functions, along with resource and delay constraints that will guide the different optimization and adaptation algorithms. Topology construction: The project is studying methods to organize classifiers into a connected topology mapped onto a distributed infrastructure. The research starts by studying linear chains of classifiers and then seeks to extend the work to multiple chains working in parallel, and to classifier trees.Decentralized Solutions based on Interactive Multi-Agent Learning: For large scale stream mining systems, where the classifiers are distributed across multiple nodes, the project is developing a decentralized decision framework and distributed algorithms for joint topology construction and local classifier configuration. In such distributed scenarios, optimizing the end-to-end performance requires interactive, multi-agent solutions to be deployed at each site in order to determine the effect of each classifier's decisions on the other classifiers.
