This paper presents two ART-based neural networks for the identification of gas mixtures subject to the drift. A fuzzy ARTMAP neural network is used for classifying $H_2S$, $NH_3$ and their mixture gases including a reference gas. The other fuzzy ART neural network is utilized to detect the drift of a tin oxide gas sensor by tracking a cluster center of the reference gas. After detecting the drift, the previous cluster center of each gas is updated as much as the drift of the reference gas. By the simulations, the proposed method is shown to compensate the drift on-line without making many categories of target gases compared with the previous studies.
