Neuro-Symbolic Fraud Detection: Catching Concept Drift Before F1 Drops (Label-Free)
This Article asks what happens next. The model has encoded its knowledge of fraud as symbolic rules. V14 below a threshold means fraud. What happens when that relationship starts to change?
Can the rules act as a canary? In other words: can neuro-symbolic concept drift monitoring work at inference t...

Most data platforms don’t break overnight; they grow into complexity, query by query. Over time, business logic spreads across SQL scripts, dashboards, and scheduled jobs until the system becomes a “SQL jungle.” This article explores how that happens and how to bring structure back.
