12.1 Introduction

As stated in [MASU08], recent approaches in classifying evolving data streams are based on supervised learning algorithms, which can be trained with labeled data only. Manual labeling of data is both costly and time-consuming. Therefore, in a real-streaming environment, where huge volumes of data appear at a high speed, labeled data may be very scarce. Thus, only a limited amount of training data may be available for building the classification models, leading to poorly trained classifiers. We apply a novel technique to overcome this problem by building a classification model from a training set having both unlabeled and a small number of labeled instances. ...
