Abstract

Max-flow has been adopted for semi-supervised data modelling, yet existing algorithms were derived only for the learning from static data. This paper proposes an online max-flow algorithm for the semi-supervised learning from data streams. Consider a graph learned from labelled and unlabelled data, and the graph being updated dynamically for accommodating online data adding and retiring. In learning from the resulting non stationary graph, we augment and de-augment paths to update max-flow with a theoretical guarantee that the updated max-flow equals to that from batch retraining. For classification, we compute min-cut over current max-flow, so that minimized number of similar sample pairs are classified into distinct classes. Empirical evaluation on real-world data reveals that our algorithm outperforms state-of-the-art stream classification algorithms.
