Evaluation of concept drift adaptation for acoustic scene classifier based on Kernel Density Drift Detection and Combine Merge Gaussian Mixture Model

Abstract

Based on the experimental results, all concepts drift types have their respective hyperparameter configurations. Simple and gradual concept drift have similar pattern which requires a smaller {\alpha} value than recurring concept drift because, in this type of drift, a new concept appear continuously, so it needs a high-frequency model adaptation. However, in recurring concepts, the new concept may repeat in the future, so the lower frequency adaptation is better. Furthermore, high-frequency model adaptation could lead to an overfitting problem. Implementing CMGMM component pruning mechanism help to control the number of the active component and improve model performance.
