Technical Definition
Classification methods, often for data streams, that adapt and change dynamically over time.
How it works
Evolving classification functions are machine learning techniques designed to handle data streams where the underlying patterns can change over time. Unlike static classifiers, these functions can adapt and evolve their structure or parameters to maintain accuracy in dynamic environments. They are commonly used in tasks like online learning and concept drift detection.

- Classification — A supervised learning task where the model assigns inputs to discrete categories.
- Concept Drift — When the relationship between inputs and the target outcome shifts over time, even if inputs look the same.
