Performance Degradation
Performance degradation in various machine learning and data processing systems is a significant research area focusing on identifying and mitigating factors that lead to reduced accuracy, efficiency, or reliability over time or under changing conditions. Current research investigates this across diverse architectures, including deep learning models (e.g., transformers, convolutional networks, graph convolutional networks), key-value stores, and algorithms for bandit problems, exploring issues like over-smoothing, gradient vanishing, and the impact of data distribution shifts. Understanding and addressing performance degradation is crucial for improving the robustness and reliability of AI systems in critical applications like healthcare, manufacturing, and data management, as well as enhancing the efficiency of fundamental data structures.
