• Title: From Concept Drift to Model Degradation: An Overview on Performance-Aware Drift Detectors
• Authors: Firas Bayram, Bestoun S. Ahmed, Andreas Kassler
• Abstract summary: Changes in the system on which a predictive machine learning model has been trained may lead to performance degradation during the system's life cycle. Different terms have been used in the literature to refer to the same type of concept drift and the same term for various types. This lack of unified terminology is set out to create confusion on distinguishing between different concept drift variants.

• Abstract: The dynamicity of real-world systems poses a significant challenge to deployed predictive machine learning (ML) models. Changes in the system on which the ML model has been trained may lead to performance degradation during the system's life cycle. Recent advances that study non-stationary environments have mainly focused on identifying and addressing such changes caused by a phenomenon called concept drift. Different terms have been used in the literature to refer to the same type of concept drift and the same term for various types. This lack of unified terminology is set out to create confusion on distinguishing between different concept drift variants. In this paper, we start by grouping concept drift types by their mathematical definitions and survey the different terms used in the literature to build a consolidated taxonomy of the field. We also review and classify performance-based concept drift detection methods proposed in the last decade. These methods utilize the predictive model's performance degradation to signal substantial changes in the systems. The classification is outlined in a hierarchical diagram to provide an orderly navigation between the methods. We present a comprehensive analysis of the main attributes and strategies for tracking and evaluating the model's performance in the predictive system. The paper concludes by discussing open research challenges and possible research directions.

  Concept drift is a frequent phenomenon in real-world datasets and corresponds to changes in data distribution over time. This paper provides four textual drift generation methods to ease the production of datasets with labeled drifts. Results show that all methods have their performance degraded right after the drifts, and the incremental SVM is the fastest to run and recover the previous performance levels.

  We introduce a causal formalism of motion forecasting, which casts the problem as a dynamic process with three groups of latent variables. We devise a modular architecture that factorizes the representations of invariant mechanisms and style confounders to approximate a causal graph. Experiment results on synthetic and real datasets show that our three proposed components significantly improve the robustness and reusability of the learned motion representations.
