Abstract
The advent of Fifth Generation (5G) and beyond 5G networks (5G+) has revolutionized the way network operators consider the management and orchestration of their networks. With an increased focus on intelligence and automation through core network functions such as the NWDAF, service providers are tasked with integrating machine learning models and artificial intelligence systems into their existing network operation practices. Due to the dynamic nature of next-generation networks and their supported use cases and applications, model drift is a serious concern, which can deteriorate the performance of intelligent models deployed throughout the network. The work presented in this paper introduces a model drift detection and adaptation module for 5G core networks. Using a functional prototype of a 5G core network, a drift in user behaviour is emulated, and the proposed framework is deployed and tested. The results of this work demonstrate the ability of the drift detection module to accurately characterize a drifted concept as well as the ability of the drift adaptation module to begin the necessary remediation efforts to restore system performance.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
