    Abstract:
    In an increasing number of industrial and technical processes, machine learning-based systems are being entrusted with supervision tasks. While they have been successfully utilized in many application areas, they frequently are not able to generalize to changes in the observed data, which environmental changes or degrading sensors might cause. These changes, commonly referred to as concept drift can trigger malfunctions in the used solutions which are safety-critical in many cases. Thus, detecting and analyzing concept drift is a crucial step when building reliable and robust machine learning-driven solutions. In this work, we consider the setting of unsupervised data streams which is highly relevant for different monitoring and anomaly detection scenarios. In particular, we focus on the tasks of localizing and explaining concept drift which are crucial to enable human operators to take appropriate action. Next to providing precise mathematical definitions of the problem of concept drift localization, we survey the body of literature on this topic. By performing standardized experiments on parametric artificial datasets we provide a direct comparison of different strategies. Thereby, we can systematically analyze the properties of different schemes and suggest first guidelines for practical applications. Finally, we explore the emerging topic of explaining concept drift.
