We consider the problem of data-stream classification, introducing a stream-classification algorithm,
Dynamic Streaming Random Forests
, that is able to handle evolving data streams using an entropy-based drift-detection technique. The algorithm automatically adjusts its parameters based on the data seen so far. Experimental results show that the algorithm handles multi-class problems for which the underlying class boundaries drift, without losing accuracy.
