Disagreement-Based Semi-Supervised Learning for Sparsely Labeled Evolving Data Streams
Introducing SLEADE, a semi‑supervised ensemble method that uses disagreement‑based learning and unsupervised drift detection to improve classification accuracy in evolving data streams with very sparse labels.
Linear adaptive filtering for regression in data streams
A lightweight regression approach for data streams that uses recursive linear adaptive filters to deliver fast, accurate, and drift‑aware predictions without ensembles or explicit drift detectors.
A comparative study of four deep learning algorithms for predicting tree stem radius measured by dendrometer: A case study
A deep learning comparison showing that accurate tree stem radius prediction is possible even with drastically reduced dendrometer sampling frequency.
