NEVE++: A neuro-evolutionary unlimited ensemble for adaptive learning

In our previous works [1, 2], we proposed NEVE, a model that uses a weighted ensemble of neural network classifiers for adaptive learning, trained by means of a quantum-inspired evolutionary algorithm (QIEA). We showed that the neuro-evolutionary classifiers were able to learn the dataset and to quickly respond to any drifts on the underlying data. Now, we are particularly interested on analyzing the influence of an unlimited ensemble, instead of the limited ensemble from NEVE. For that, we modified NEVE to work with unlimited ensembles, and we call this new algorithm NEVE++. To verity how the unlimited ensemble influences the results, we used four different datasets with concept drift in order to compare the accuracy of NEVE and NEVE++, using two other existing algorithms as reference.
