Various systems and methods are presented regarding detecting data drift. The data of interest can be batches of utterances received at an interface (e.g., a chatbot). The batches of utterances can be compared with topics present in training data utilized to train a data classifier (e.g., an autoencoder), wherein topics identified in the batches of utterances that are not present in the training data can be considered to be novel topics. The greater the presence of novel topics in a batch of utterances, the greater the divergence of the batch of utterances from the content of the training data. The novel topics can be identified and subsequently applied to the training data such that the data classifier can be re-trained with the novel topics, thereby causing the data classifier to be contemporaneous with the novel topics. In an embodiment, the utterances can be short streams of text, symbols, and suchlike.

Reliable and interpretable drift detection in streams of short texts

A method, apparatus and product for reducing a number of test templates in a test suite. The method comprises determining, for a first test template of the test suite, a first probabilities vector comprising a first plurality of coverage probabilities with respect to a set of coverage events. The method comprises determining, for a second test template of the test suite, a second probabilities vector comprising a second plurality of coverage probabilities with respect to the set of coverage events. The method further comprises determining that the first test template is statistically dominant over the second test template based on the first probabilities vector and based on the second probabilities vector. The method further comprises providing an output based on the determination of the statistically dominant test template.
