Claims
Our experiments show that, although this method performs well in ensembles of multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs), it consistently underperforms loss-based detectors when applied to IDTs. We attribute this behavior to the intrinsic rigidity of IDTs: learning primarily through structural expansion, with limited parameter adaptation, restricts model plasticity and prevents disagreement from reliably reflecting learning potential.
That batch-specific disagreement measures constructed via label flipping accurately reflect learning potential in IDTs and that the observed underperformance is caused by model rigidity rather than other factors in the experimental design.
Disagreement measures from label flipping in IDT ensembles underperform loss-based drift detectors in streaming tabular data due to the limited plasticity of tree models.
