• Abstract summary: backward-compatible representation is proposed to enable the "new" features compatible with "old"' features. We propose a Neighborhood Consensus Contrastive Learning (NCCL) method, which learns backward-compatible representation from a neighborhood consensus perspective. Our method ensures backward compatibility without impairing the accuracy of the new model.

• Abstract: In object re-identification (ReID), the development of deep learning techniques often involves model update and deployment. It is unbearable to re-extract image features of the large-scale gallery when deploying new models. Therefore, backward-compatible representation is proposed to enable the "new" features compatible with "old"' features, free from the re-extracting process. The existing backward-compatible methods simply conduct constraints in the embedding space or discriminative space and ignore the intra-class variance of the old embeddings, resulting in a risk of damaging the discriminability of new embeddings. In this work, we propose a Neighborhood Consensus Contrastive Learning (NCCL) method, which learns backward-compatible representation from a neighborhood consensus perspective with both embedding structures and discriminative knowledge. With NCCL, the new embeddings are aligned and improved with old embeddings in a multi-cluster view. Besides, we also propose a scheme to filter the old embeddings with low credibility, which can further improve the compatibility robustness. Our method ensures backward compatibility without impairing the accuracy of the new model. And it can even improve the new model's accuracy in most scenarios.

  Visual retrieval systems face challenges when updating models with improved representations due to misalignment between the old and new representations. Prior research has explored backward-compatible training methods that enable direct comparisons between new and old representations without backfilling. In this paper, we address achieving a balance between backward compatibility and the performance of independently trained models.

  Class-incremental learning (CIL) aims to recognize new classes incrementally while maintaining the discriminability of old classes. Most existing CIL methods are exemplar-based, i.e., storing a part of old data for retraining. We present a simple and novel dual bias reduction framework that employs self-supervised transformation (SST) in input space and prototype augmentation (protoAug) in deep feature space.

  In real-world applications, dynamic scenarios require the models to possess the capability to learn new tasks continuously without forgetting the old knowledge. We propose a new architecture, named continual expansion and absorption transformer(CEAT) The model can learn the novel knowledge by extending the expanded-fusion layers in parallel with the frozen previous parameters. To improve the learning ability of the model, we designed a novel prototype contrastive loss to reduce the overlap between old and new classes in the feature space.

  BCT presents the first step towards backward-compatible model upgrades to get rid of backfilling. We propose Darwinian Model Upgrades (DMU) which disentangle the inheritance and variation in the model evolving with selective backward compatibility and forward adaptation. DMU effectively alleviates the new-to-new degradation and improves new-to-old compatibility, rendering a more proper model upgrading paradigm in large-scale retrieval systems.

  We propose a way to learn visual features that are compatible with previously computed ones even when they have different dimensions. This enables visual search systems to bypass computing new features for all previously seen images when updating the embedding models. We propose a framework to train embedding models, called backward-compatible training (BCT), as a first step towards backward compatible representation learning.
