New PAI-KNN Classifier Adapts to Imbalanced Data Streams with Concept Drift

Researchers have introduced PAI-KNN, a novel k-nearest neighbor classifier designed to handle imbalanced data streams that experience concept drift. Unlike existing methods that modify memory or data, PAI-KNN adapts by adjusting its decision rules at inference time using estimated class priors from recent observations. This approach, tested on various synthetic data streams, demonstrates competitive performance against state-of-the-art techniques, particularly excelling in scenarios with dynamic class imbalance and concept drift.

    Inference-Time Prior Adaptation for Imbalanced Data Streams under Concept Drift

    arXiv:2610.33126v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Data stream classification under concept drift and class imbalance requires models to adapt continuously while maintaining strong minority-class performance. Many existing approaches rely on active memory management, in- cluding ins…
