• Title: Cognitively-Inspired Model for Incremental Learning Using a Few Examples
• Authors: Ali Ayub and Alan Wagner
• Abstract summary: Incremental learning attempts to develop a classifier which learns continuously from a stream of data segregated into different classes. Deep learning approaches suffer from catastrophic forgetting when learning classes incrementally, while most incremental learning approaches require a large amount of training data per class. We propose a novel approach inspired by the concept learning model of the hippocampus and the neocortex that represents each image class as centroids.

• Abstract: Incremental learning attempts to develop a classifier which learns continuously from a stream of data segregated into different classes. Deep learning approaches suffer from catastrophic forgetting when learning classes incrementally, while most incremental learning approaches require a large amount of training data per class. We examine the problem of incremental learning using only a few training examples, referred to as Few-Shot Incremental Learning (FSIL). To solve this problem, we propose a novel approach inspired by the concept learning model of the hippocampus and the neocortex that represents each image class as centroids and does not suffer from catastrophic forgetting. We evaluate our approach on three class-incremental learning benchmarks: Caltech-101, CUBS-200-2011 and CIFAR-100 for incremental and few-shot incremental learning and show that our approach achieves state-of-the-art results in terms of classification accuracy over all learned classes.

  We propose a novel class incremental learning approach by incorporating a feature augmentation technique motivated by adversarial attacks. The proposed approach has a unique perspective to utilize the previous knowledge in class incremental learning since it augments features of arbitrary target classes. Our method consistently outperforms existing class incremental learning methods by significant margins in various scenarios.

• Class-Incremental Learning: A Survey [84.30083092434938]
  Class-Incremental Learning (CIL) enables the learner to incorporate the knowledge of new classes incrementally. CIL tends to catastrophically forget the characteristics of former ones, and its performance drastically degrades. We provide a rigorous and unified evaluation of 17 methods in benchmark image classification tasks to find out the characteristics of different algorithms.

• Improving Feature Generalizability with Multitask Learning in Class Incremental Learning [12.632121107536843]
  Many deep learning applications, like keyword spotting, require the incorporation of new concepts (classes) over time, referred to as Class Incremental Learning (CIL) The major challenge in CIL is catastrophic forgetting, i.e., preserving as much of the old knowledge as possible while learning new tasks. We propose multitask learning during base model training to improve the feature generalizability. Our approach enhances the average incremental learning accuracy by up to 5.5%, which enables more reliable and accurate keyword spotting over time.

  Few-shot class-incremental learning (FSCIL) aims to design machine learning algorithms that can continually learn new concepts from a few data points. The difficulty lies in that limited data from new classes not only lead to significant overfitting issues but also exacerbate the notorious catastrophic forgetting problems. We propose a Continually Evolved CIF ( CEC) that employs a graph model to propagate context information between classifiers for adaptation.

• Class-incremental learning: survey and performance evaluation on image classification [38.27344435075399]
  Incremental learning allows for efficient resource usage by eliminating the need to retrain from scratch at the arrival of new data. The main challenge for incremental learning is catastrophic forgetting, which refers to the precipitous drop in performance on previously learned tasks after learning a new one. Recently, we have seen a shift towards class-incremental learning where the learner must discriminate at inference time between all classes seen in previous tasks without recourse to a task-ID.

  We focus on a challenging but practical few-shot class-incremental learning (FSCIL) problem. FSCIL requires CNN models to incrementally learn new classes from very few labelled samples, without forgetting the previously learned ones. We represent the knowledge using a neural gas (NG) network, which can learn and preserve the topology of the feature manifold formed by different classes.
