The accuracy of prediction systems deployed in real-world environments deteriorates
progressively due to continuously evolving data patterns and dynamically changing operational
conditions. Conventional machine learning models, typically trained in static scenarios with fixed
data distributions, prove inadequate for capturing temporal variations and contextual dependencies
inherent in dynamic systems. This research investigates context-aware learning methodologies to
enhance prediction accuracy by systematically incorporating contextual information—including
temporal characteristics, operational states, and environmental conditions—into the learning process. The proposed framework integrates contextual feature extraction with incremental adaptation
mechanisms, enabling stable predictions without necessitating frequent model retraining. Experimental validation on two representative datasets demonstrates substantial performance improvements: achieving 92.7% and 88.4% prediction accuracies compared to 86.3% and 78.9% obtained by baseline models for gradually evolving and abruptly changing systems, respectively. Furthermore, the context-aware approach exhibits accelerated recovery and reduced error rates following sudden behavioral transitions. These empirical results substantiate that contextual awareness significantly enhances both prediction stability and accuracy in dynamic operational environments, with mean error rates reduced by 43% and 44% across the evaluated datasets.
