Abstract
Anomaly detection in data streams comes with different technical challenges due to the data nature. The main challenges include storage limitations, the speed of data arrival, and concept drifts. In the literature, methods for mining data streams in order to detect anomalies have been proposed. While some methods focus on tackling a specific issue, other methods handle diverse problems but may have high complexity (time and memory). In the present work, we propose DragStream, a novel subsequence anomaly and concept drift detection algorithm for univariate data streams. DragStream extends the subsequence anomaly detection method for time series data Drag to streaming data. Furthermore, the new method is inspired by the well-known Matrix Profile, Drag, and MILOF which are respectively point and subsequence anomaly detection methods for time series and data streams. We conducted intensive experiments and statistical analysis to evaluate the performance of the proposed approach against existing methods. The results show that our method is competitive in performance while being linear in time and memory complexity. Finally, we provide an open-source implementation of the new method.

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
