Concept Drift
nounverified·updated Aug 28, 2026
Systems that classify or predict a concept (e.g., credit ratings or computer intrusion monitors) over time can suffer performance loss when the concept they are tracking changes. This is referred to as concept drift. This can either be a natural process that occurs without a reference to the system, or an active process, where others are reacting to the system (e.g., virus detection).
