Abstract

Today we live in a data-rich environment. This is dramatically different from the last century when the fundamentals of machine learning , control theory and related subjects were established. Nowadays, vast and exponentially increasing data sets and streams which are often non-linear , non-stationary and increasingly more multi-modal /heterogeneous (combining various physical variables, signals with images/videos as well as text) are being generated, transmitted and recorded as a result of our everyday live. This is drastically different from the reality when the fundamental results of the probability theory , statistics and statistical learning where developed few centuries ago.

Notes

  1. 1.

    ALMMo-1 is using a single user-controlled parameter (\( \varOmega_{0} \)) which, however, has very little influence on the result and represents the standard for recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm initialization of the covariance matrix [28, 29]. Its value can easily be fixed to, for example, \( \varOmega_{0} = 10 \). This algorithm can optionally also use another two user-defined parameters (\( \eta_{o} \) and \( \varphi_{0} \)) which control the quality of the generated model.

  2. 2.

    ALMMo-0 and the DRB classifiers use a single user-controlled parameter (\( r_{o} \)) which, however, has very little influence on the result and represents the initial radius of the area of influence of the new data cloud. Its value can easily be fixed to, \( r_{o} = \sqrt {2\left( {1 - \cos \left( {30^{o} } \right)} \right)} \). Moreover, it is only required if the ALMMo-0 and the DRB classifiers work online.

  3. 3.

    SS_DRB classifier only requires two such parameters (\( \varOmega_{1} \) and \( \varOmega_{2} \)) but they carry clear meaning and suggested value ranges are provided.
