Online learning is an important technical means for sketching massive real-time and high-speed data. Although this direction has attracted intensive attention, most of the literature in this area ignore the following three issues: (1) they think little of the underlying abstract hierarchical latent information existing in examples, even if extracting these abstract hierarchical latent representations is useful to better predict the class labels of examples; (2) the idea of preassigned model on unseen datapoints is not suitable for modeling streaming data with evolving probability distribution. This challenge is referred as model flexibility. And so, with this in minds, the online deep learning model we need to design should have a variable underlying structure; (3) moreover, it is of utmost importance to fusion these abstract hierarchical latent representations to achieve better classification performance, and we should give different weights to different levels of implicit representation information when dealing with the data streaming where the data distribution changes. To address these issues, we propose a two-phase Online Deep Learning based on Auto-Encoder (ODLAE). Based on auto-encoder, considering reconstruction loss, we extract abstract hierarchical latent representations of instances; Based on predictive loss, we devise two fusion strategies: the output-level fusion strategy, which is obtained by fusing the classification results of encoder each hidden layer; and feature-level fusion strategy, which is leveraged self-attention mechanism to fusion every hidden layer output. Finally, in order to improve the robustness of the algorithm, we also try to utilize the denoising auto-encoder to yield hierarchical latent representations. Experimental results on different datasets are presented to verify the validity of our proposed algorithm (ODLAE) outperforms several baselines.
