Concept drift refers to the phenomenon where the underlying concept or data distribution changes over time, making previously learned models obsolete. This is a significant challenge in machine learning, as models built on old data may become inconsistent with new data. The paper discusses different types of concept drift, including sudden and gradual drift, and virtual drift, which occurs when data distribution changes but the target concept remains the same. It also covers systems for handling concept drift, such as instance selection, instance weighting, and ensemble learning. The paper reviews existing approaches, including FLORA3, PECS, and SPLICE, and highlights the need for systems that can adapt quickly, distinguish between noise and concept drift, and handle recurring contexts. It also discusses the importance of incremental learning over batch learning, as real-world data is often processed in streams. The paper concludes that three main approaches to handling concept drift are instance selection, instance weighting, and ensemble learning. However, most real-world datasets lack sufficient concept drift, making it difficult to validate proposed methods. The paper emphasizes the need for robust criteria to detect concept drift and adapt models accordingly. It also notes that current triggers for model updates are not always effective for different types of drift and levels of noise. The paper concludes that further research is needed to develop more effective methods for handling concept drift in real-world applications.Concept drift refers to the phenomenon where the underlying concept or data distribution changes over time, making previously learned models obsolete.
