The paper introduces the Stream Cruise Control Method (SCCM), a framework for detecting and adapting to concept drift in online regression. SCCM performs early-response drift detection, quantifies drift magnitude, applies KPI-window-based thresholding to reduce false alarms, dynamically tunes hyperparameters, and recalibrates models, all within an in-memory design for real-time operation. Evaluations on synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrate that SCCM improves predictive performance compared to eight baseline detector–adaptation methods.
arXiv:2608. 02845v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tabular model performance degrades when feature distributions change over time or the relationship between features and outcome variables change over time, known as data drift and concept drift, respectively.
arXiv:2508. 00042v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Machine learning models deployed in non-stationary environments degrade silently, since as the input distribution drifts their accuracy decays without an error signal and without labels to reveal it.
arXiv:2608.30923v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Stream learning is commonly evaluated through predictive performance and adaptation to concept drift. However, sustained operation of a stream learne...
The paper introduces a causal framework for concept drift, using Structural Causal Models to classify drift events by their causal origin—exogenous variables, endogenous mechanisms, confounders, and target-generating processes. It presents an SCM-based data stream generator that simulates controlled mechanism-level drift, and empirically shows that different causal origins produce distinct distribution shifts and predictive behaviors. By integrating causal discovery, the authors create realistic data streams that improve downstream performance and provide a foundation for causally-aware evaluation in non‑stationary settings.

The paper introduces the Continuous Evolution Pool (CEP), a replay‑free framework for online time series forecasting that tackles recurring concept drift. CEP maintains a dynamic pool of specialized forecasters, using lightweight statistical genes to identify concepts, spawn new models when distribution shifts occur, and prune obsolete ones under memory limits. Experiments on real‑world datasets show CEP reduces forecasting error by up to 24% compared to state‑of‑the‑art baselines, especially in scenarios with pronounced recurring drift.
