Evolving Large-Scale Data Stream Analytics based on Scalable PANFIS

Many distributed machine learning frameworks have recently been built to speed up the large-scale data learning process. However, most distributed machine learning used in these frameworks still uses an offline algorithm model which cannot cope with the data stream problems. In fact, large-scale data are mostly generated by the non-stationary data stream where its pattern evolves over time. To address this problem, we propose a novel Evolving Large-scale Data Stream Analytics framework based on a Scalable Parsimonious Network based on Fuzzy Inference System (Scalable PANFIS), where the PANFIS evolving algorithm is distributed over the worker nodes in the cloud to learn large-scale data stream. Scalable PANFIS framework incorporates the active learning (AL) strategy and two model fusion methods. The AL accelerates the distributed learning process to generate an initial evolving large-scale data stream model (initial model), whereas the two model fusion methods aggregate an initial model to generate the final model. The final model represents the update of current large-scale data knowledge which can be used to infer future data. Extensive experiments on this framework are validated by measuring the accuracy and running time of four combinations of Scalable PANFIS and other Spark-based built in algorithms. The results indicate that Scalable PANFIS with AL improves the training time to be almost two times faster than Scalable PANFIS without AL. The results also show both rule merging and the voting mechanisms yield similar accuracy in general among Scalable PANFIS algorithms and they are generally better than Spark-based algorithms. In terms of running time, the Scalable PANFIS training time outperforms all Spark-based algorithms when classifying numerous benchmark datasets.Comment: 20 pages, 5 figure

Development of advanced autonomous learning algorithms for nonlinear system identification and control

Identification of nonlinear dynamical systems, data stream analysis, etc. is usually handled by autonomous learning algorithms like evolving fuzzy and evolving neuro-fuzzy systems (ENFSs). They are characterized by the single-pass learning mode and open structure-property. Such features enable their effective handling of fast and rapidly changing natures of data streams. The underlying bottleneck of ENFSs lies in its design principle, which involves a high number of free parameters (rule premise and rule consequent) to be adapted in the training process. This figure can even double in the case of the type-2 fuzzy system. From this literature gap, a novel ENFS, namely Parsimonious Learning Machine (PALM) is proposed in this thesis. To reduce the number of network parameters significantly, PALM features utilization of a new type of fuzzy rule based on the concept of hyperplane clustering, where it has no rule premise parameters. PALM is proposed in both type-1 and type-2 fuzzy systems where all of them characterize a fully dynamic rule-based system. Thus, it is capable of automatically generating, merging, and tuning the hyperplane-based fuzzy rule in a single-pass manner. Moreover, an extension of PALM, namely recurrent PALM (rPALM), is proposed and adopts the concept of teacher-forcing mechanism in the deep learning literature. The efficacy of both PALM and rPALM have been evaluated through numerical study with data streams and to identify nonlinear unmanned aerial vehicle system. The proposed models showcase significant improvements in terms of computational complexity and the number of required parameters against several renowned ENFSs while attaining comparable and often better predictive accuracy. The ENFSs have also been utilized to develop three autonomous intelligent controllers (AICons) in this thesis. They are namely Generic (G) controller, Parsimonious controller (PAC), and Reduced Parsimonious Controller (RedPAC). All these controllers start operating from scratch with an empty set of fuzzy rules, and no offline training is required. To cope with the dynamic behavior of the plant, these controllers can add, merge or prune the rules on demand. Among three AICons, the G-controller is built by utilizing an advanced incremental learning machine, namely Generic Evolving Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System. The integration of generalized adaptive resonance theory provides a compact structure of the G-controller. Consequently, the faster evolution of structure is witnessed, which lowers its computational cost. Another AICon namely, PAC is rooted with PALM's architecture. Since PALM has a dependency on user-defined thresholds to adapt the structure, these thresholds are replaced with the concept of bias- variance trade-off in PAC. In RedPAC, the network parameters have further reduced in contrast with PALM-based PAC, where the number of consequent parameters has reduced to one parameter per rule. These AICons work with very minor expert domain knowledge and developed by incorporating the sliding mode control technique. In G-controller and RedPAC, the control law and adaptation laws for the consequent parameters are derived from the SMC algorithm to establish a stable closed-loop system, where the stability of these controllers are guaranteed by using the Lyapunov function and the uniform asymptotic convergence of tracking error to zero is witnessed through the implication of an auxiliary robustifying control term. While using PAC, the boundedness and convergence of the closed-loop control system's tracking error and the controller's consequent parameters are confirmed by utilizing the LaSalle-Yoshizawa theorem. Their efficacy is evaluated by observing various trajectory tracking performance of unmanned aerial vehicles. The accuracy of these controllers is comparable or better than the benchmark controllers where the proposed controllers incur significantly fewer parameters to attain similar or better tracking performance

Técnicas big data para el procesamiento de flujos de datos masivos en tiempo real

Programa de Doctorado en Biotecnología, Ingeniería y Tecnología QuímicaLínea de Investigación: Ingeniería, Ciencia de Datos y BioinformáticaClave Programa: DBICódigo Línea: 111Machine learning techniques have become one of the most demanded resources by companies due to the large volume of data that surrounds us in these days. The main objective of these technologies is to solve complex problems in an automated way using data. One of the current perspectives of machine learning is the analysis of continuous flows of data or data streaming. This approach is increasingly requested by enterprises as a result of the large number of information sources producing time-indexed data at high frequency, such as sensors, Internet of Things devices, social networks, etc. However, nowadays, research is more focused on the study of historical data than on data received in streaming. One of the main reasons for this is the enormous challenge that this type of data presents for the modeling of machine learning algorithms. This Doctoral Thesis is presented in the form of a compendium of publications with a total of 10 scientific contributions in International Conferences and journals with high impact index in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR). The research developed during the PhD Program focuses on the study and analysis of real-time or streaming data through the development of new machine learning algorithms. Machine learning algorithms for real-time data consist of a different type of modeling than the traditional one, where the model is updated online to provide accurate responses in the shortest possible time. The main objective of this Doctoral Thesis is the contribution of research value to the scientific community through three new machine learning algorithms. These algorithms are big data techniques and two of them work with online or streaming data. In this way, contributions are made to the development of one of the current trends in Artificial Intelligence. With this purpose, algorithms are developed for descriptive and predictive tasks, i.e., unsupervised and supervised learning, respectively. Their common idea is the discovery of patterns in the data. The first technique developed during the dissertation is a triclustering algorithm to produce three-dimensional data clusters in offline or batch mode. This big data algorithm is called bigTriGen. In a general way, an evolutionary metaheuristic is used to search for groups of data with similar patterns. The model uses genetic operators such as selection, crossover, mutation or evaluation operators at each iteration. The goal of the bigTriGen is to optimize the evaluation function to achieve triclusters of the highest possible quality. It is used as the basis for the second technique implemented during the Doctoral Thesis. The second algorithm focuses on the creation of groups over three-dimensional data received in real-time or in streaming. It is called STriGen. Streaming modeling is carried out starting from an offline or batch model using historical data. As soon as this model is created, it starts receiving data in real-time. The model is updated in an online or streaming manner to adapt to new streaming patterns. In this way, the STriGen is able to detect concept drifts and incorporate them into the model as quickly as possible, thus producing triclusters in real-time and of good quality. The last algorithm developed in this dissertation follows a supervised learning approach for time series forecasting in real-time. It is called StreamWNN. A model is created with historical data based on the k-nearest neighbor or KNN algorithm. Once the model is created, data starts to be received in real-time. The algorithm provides real-time predictions of future data, keeping the model always updated in an incremental way and incorporating streaming patterns identified as novelties. The StreamWNN also identifies anomalous data in real-time allowing this feature to be used as a security measure during its application. The developed algorithms have been evaluated with real data from devices and sensors. These new techniques have demonstrated to be very useful, providing meaningful triclusters and accurate predictions in real time.Universidad Pablo de Olavide de Sevilla.
