Abstract
This work addresses the problem of mining data stream generated in dynamic environments where the distribution underlying the observations may change over time. We present a system that monitors the evolution of the learning process. The system is able to self-diagnosis degradations of this process, using change detection mechanisms, and self-repairs the decision models. The system uses meta-learning techniques that characterize the domain of applicability of previously learned models. The meta-learns can detect re-occurrence of contexts, using unlabeled examples, and take pro-active actions by activating previously learned models.

PROGRESS IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Abstract
In recent years we witnessed an impressive advance in the social networks field, which became a "hot" topic and a focus of considerable attention. Also, the development of methods that focus on the analysis and understanding of the evolution of data are gaining momentum. In this paper we present an approach to visualize the evolution of dynamic social networks by using Tucker decomposition and the concept of trajectory. Our visualization strategy is based on trajectories of network's actors in a bidimensional space that preserves its structural properties. Furthermore, this approach can be used to identify similar actors by comparing the shape and position of the trajectories. To illustrate the proposed approach we conduct a case study using a set of temporal friendship networks.

Abstract
In this work we address the problem of monitoring the evolution of clusters, which became an important research issue in recent years due to our ability to collect and store data that evolves over time. The evolution is traced through the detection and categorization of transitions undergone by clusters' structures computed at different points in time. We adopt two main strategies for cluster characterization - representation by enumeration and representation by comprehension -, and propose the MEC (Monitor of the Evolution of Clusters) framework, which was developed along the lines of the change mining paradigm. MEC includes a taxonomy of various types of clusters' transitions, a tracking mechanism that depends on cluster representation, and a transition detection algorithm. Our tracking mechanism can be subdivided in two methods, devised to monitor clusters' transitions: one based on graph transitions, and another based on clusters' overlap. To demonstrate the feasibility and applicability of MEC we present real world case studies, using datasets from different knowledge areas, such as Economy and Education.
