Data drift meets data profilingImage by authorTLDR: We experimented with statistical tests, Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) specifically, applied to full datasets as well as dataset profiles and compared results. The results allow us to discuss the limitations of data profiling for KS drift detection and the pros and cons of the KS algorithm for different scenarios. We also provide the code for you to reproduce the experiments yourself.Data drift is a well-known issue in ML applications. If unaddressed, it can degrade your model…
