Abstract

Change detection in continuous data streams is very useful in today's computing environment. However, high computation overhead prevents many data mining algorithms from being used for online monitoring. We propose a history-guided low-cost change detection method based on the "s-monitor" approach. The "s-monitor" approach monitors the stream with simple models ("s-monitors") which can reflect changes of complicated models. By interleaving frequent s-monitor checks and infrequent complicated model checks, we can keep a close eye on the stream without heavy computation overhead. The selection of s-monitors is critical for successful change detection. History can often provide insights to select appropriate s-monitors and monitor the streams. We demonstrate this method using subspace cluster monitoring for log data and frequent item set monitoring for retail data. Our experiments show that this approach can catch more changes in a more timely manner with lower cost than traditional approaches. The same approach can be applied to different models in various applications, such as monitoring live weather data, stock market fluctuations and network traffic streams.
