The quality of machine learning (ML) models deployed in dynamic
environments tends to decline over time due to disparities between the
data used for training and the upcoming data available for prediction,
which is commonly known as drift. Therefore, it is important for ML
models to be capable of detecting any changes or drift in the data
distribution and updating the ML model accordingly. This study presents
various drift detection techniques to identify drift in the survival
outcomes of patients who underwent cardiac surgery. Additionally, this
study proposes several drift adaptation strategies, such as adaptive
learning, incremental learning, and ensemble learning. Through a
detailed analysis of the results, the study confirms the superior
performance of ensemble model, achieving a minimum mean absolute error
(MAE) of 2.65 and 3.4 for predicting hospital stay and ICU stay,
respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
