Adaptive Learning Architectures for Evolving Data Streams: Challenges and Advances
Keywords:
Adaptive Learning Systems, Evolving Data Streams, Lifelong Learning, Knowledge Retention, Meta-Learning, Online Learning ArchitecturesAbstract
In the era of ubiquitous data generation, learning systems must continuously adapt to dynamic and non-stationary environments. This paper surveys recent advances in adaptive learning architectures designed for evolving data streams, with a focus on incremental learning, concept drift adaptation, and real-time model updating. We analyze the core challenges in building robust, scalable systems capable of retaining long-term knowledge while remaining flexible to new information. Key architectural designs, such as modular networks, meta-learning frameworks, and memory- constrained learners, are discussed. Real-world applications in IoT, autonomous systems, and personalized services are examined to highlight practical implications. This work aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the current landscape and identify open research directions in the field of lifelong and adaptive learning.
