Abstract | In order to be effective in solving time-critical problems in complex dynamic environments with higher levels of uncertainty, an intelligent system must continuously adapt parameters of its learning system to variations in the incoming signals generated by the non-stationary environment in a real-time fashion. The task of continuous online unsupervised learning of streaming data in complex dynamic environments under conditions of uncertainty requires the maximizing (or minimizing) of a certain similarity-based objective function defining an optimal segmentation of the input data set into clusters, which is an NP-hard optimization problem in a general metric space and is computationally intractable for real-world problems of practical interest. This paper describes the developed adaptive multi-agent approach to continuous online clustering of streaming data, which is originally sensitive to environmental variations and provides a fast dynamic response with event-driven incremental improvement of optimization results, trading-off operating time and result quality. Our two main contributions include a computationally efficient market-based algorithm of continuous agglomerative hierarchical clustering of streaming data and a knowledge-based self-organizing multi-agent system for implementing it. Experimental results demonstrate the strong performance of the implemented multi-agent learning system for continuous online clustering of both synthetic datasets and datasets from the RoboCup Soccer and Rescue domains. Further research on extending the adaptive learning approach to support online semi-supervised classification by continuously deducing semantic-based classification rules from clustering results and performing automatic rule-based classification at run-time is outlined. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
