Abstract

Classification models frequently experience performance degradation due to concept drift in data streams, making timely detection of such drifts critical for updating base classifiers and maintaining high classification accuracy. This paper proposed a novel concept drift detection method (CDDM) based on the Chernoff bound, incorporating two key enhancements to address existing limitations. This paper developed a detection framework grounded in the mean-based Chernoff bound, which is further decomposed into current mean-based and global mean-based Chernoff bounds to achieve an optimal balance between sensitivity and stability. Additionally, this paper designed composite verification strategies that integrate both a dual-check mechanism and a detection-then-verification approach to enhance the robustness and precision of drift identification. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed mechanisms, this paper constructed variant models of CDDM for comparative performance analysis. Experimental results obtained from synthetic datasets demonstrate that CDDM achieves a maximum average accuracy of 85.97% while reducing drift detection delay by 8.80%. These findings confirmed that the proposed method not only enhanced classification accuracy but also accelerated drift detection speed, thereby providing a reliable solution for maintaining the performance of streaming data classification models.
