• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: The ability to incrementally learn new classes is crucial to the development of real-world artificial intelligence systems. In this paper, 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. To address this problem, 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. On this basis, we propose the TOpology-Preserving knowledge InCrementer (TOPIC) framework. TOPIC mitigates the forgetting of the old classes by stabilizing NG's topology and improves the representation learning for few-shot new classes by growing and adapting NG to new training samples. Comprehensive experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method significantly outperforms other state-of-the-art class-incremental learning methods on CIFAR100, miniImageNet, and CUB200 datasets.

• CLOSER: Towards Better Representation Learning for Few-Shot Class-Incremental Learning [52.63674911541416]
  Few-shot class-incremental learning (FSCIL) faces several challenges, such as overfitting and forgetting. Our primary focus is representation learning on base classes to tackle the unique challenge of FSCIL. We find that trying to secure the spread of features within a more confined feature space enables the learned representation to strike a better balance between transferability and discriminability.

  Few-shot class-incremental learning aims to incrementally recognize new classes using a few samples. One of the effective methods to solve this challenge is to construct prototypical evolution classifiers. Because representations for new classes are weak and biased, we argue such a strategy is suboptimal.

  We propose a simple yet effective framework, named Learning Prompt with Distribution-based Feature Replay (LP-DiF) To prevent the learnable prompt from forgetting old knowledge in the new session, we propose a pseudo-feature replay approach. When progressing to a new session, pseudo-features are sampled from old-class distributions combined with training images of the current session to optimize the prompt.

  Recent results show that representations learned by a single classifier over many classes are competitive on few-shot learning problems. We show that neural collapse generalizes to new samples from the training classes, and -- more importantly -- to new classes as well.

  We study the issue of catastrophic forgetting in class-incremental learning (Class-IL) In training procedure of Class-IL, as the model has no knowledge about following tasks, it would only extract features necessary for tasks learned so far, whose information is insufficient for joint classification. We propose to combine self-supervised learning, which can provide effective representations without requiring labels, with Class-IL to partly get around this problem.

• Cognitively-Inspired Model for Incremental Learning Using a Few Examples [11.193504036335503]
  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.
