How to Catch Data Drift When Every Feature Looks Normal

Read the original on Towards Data Science →

The article explains how to detect subtle changes in the relationships between features—known as data drift—using adversarial validation techniques and scikit‑learn tools. It focuses on situations where individual feature distributions appear unchanged, yet the underlying interactions shift, potentially degrading model performance. The post provides practical guidance on implementing these methods to maintain model reliability.

MORA: Modeling Observed Changes for Drift-Robust Time-Series Anomaly Detection

MORA is a drift‑robust time‑series anomaly detection framework that addresses the ambiguity between distribution drift and true anomalies by defining a temporal change disambiguation problem. It reconstructs a local target from paired short‑ and long‑term views, using the reconstruction gap as a measure of contextual support to adjust the primary anomaly score. The method requires no drift annotations or online adaptation and demonstrates strong robustness to non‑stationarity while maintaining sensitivity to genuine anomalies on four TSAD benchmarks.

skchange: Fast and Flexible Algorithms for Changepoint Detection

skchange is an open‑source Python library that provides fast and flexible algorithms for detecting structural changes in time series. It offers modular, composable methods based on cost minimisation and statistical tests, and includes features such as anomalous segment detection, high‑dimensional data support, automatic penalty calibration, and a wide range of built‑in costs and tests. The library follows scikit‑learn conventions and uses Numba for high computational performance, with source code and documentation available on GitHub.
