• Title: Lifelong Infinite Mixture Model Based on Knowledge-Driven Dirichlet Process
• Authors: Fei Ye and Adrian G. Bors
• Abstract summary: Recent research efforts in lifelong learning propose to grow a mixture of models to adapt to an increasing number of tasks. We perform the theoretical analysis for lifelong learning models by deriving the risk bounds based on the discrepancy distance between the probabilistic representation of data. Inspired by the theoretical analysis, we introduce a new lifelong learning approach, namely the Lifelong Infinite Mixture (LIMix) model.

• Abstract: Recent research efforts in lifelong learning propose to grow a mixture of models to adapt to an increasing number of tasks. The proposed methodology shows promising results in overcoming catastrophic forgetting. However, the theory behind these successful models is still not well understood. In this paper, we perform the theoretical analysis for lifelong learning models by deriving the risk bounds based on the discrepancy distance between the probabilistic representation of data generated by the model and that corresponding to the target dataset. Inspired by the theoretical analysis, we introduce a new lifelong learning approach, namely the Lifelong Infinite Mixture (LIMix) model, which can automatically expand its network architectures or choose an appropriate component to adapt its parameters for learning a new task, while preserving its previously learnt information. We propose to incorporate the knowledge by means of Dirichlet processes by using a gating mechanism which computes the dependence between the knowledge learnt previously and stored in each component, and a new set of data. Besides, we train a compact Student model which can accumulate cross-domain representations over time and make quick inferences. The code is available at https://github.com/dtuzi123/Lifelong-infinite-mixture-model.

  We present MergeNet, which learns to bridge the gap of parameter spaces of heterogeneous models. The core mechanism of MergeNet lies in the parameter adapter, which operates by querying the source model's low-rank parameters. MergeNet is learned alongside both models, allowing our framework to dynamically transfer and adapt knowledge relevant to the current stage.

  Federated learning enables joint training of machine learning models from distributed clients without sharing their local data. One key challenge in federated learning is to handle non-identically distributed data across the clients. We propose a novel federated learning framework with projected trajectory regularization (FedPTR) for tackling the data issue.

  Recent data-privacy laws have sparked interest in machine unlearning. Challenge is to discard information about the forget'' data without altering knowledge about remaining dataset. We adopt a projected-gradient based learning method, named as Projected-Gradient Unlearning (PGU) We provide empirically evidence to demonstrate that our unlearning method can produce models that behave similar to models retrained from scratch across various metrics even when the training dataset is no longer accessible.
