• Abstract: Exemplar-based class-incremental learning is to recognize new classes while not forgetting old ones, whose samples can only be saved in limited memory. The ratio fluctuation of new samples to old exemplars, which is caused by the variation of memory capacity at different environments, will bring challenges to stabilize the incremental optimization process. To address this problem, we propose a novel self-paced imbalance rectification scheme, which dynamically maintains the incremental balance during the representation learning phase. Specifically, our proposed scheme consists of a frequency compensation strategy that adjusts the logits margin between old and new classes with the corresponding number ratio to strengthen the expression ability of the old classes, and an inheritance transfer strategy to reduce the representation confusion by estimating the similarity of different classes in the old embedding space. Furthermore, a chronological attenuation mechanism is proposed to mitigate the repetitive optimization of the older classes at multiple step-wise increments. Extensive experiments on three benchmarks demonstrate stable incremental performance, significantly outperforming the state-of-the-art methods.

  We introduce past-class backtrace distillation to balance the stability of existing knowledge with the adaptability to new information.

  Weakly Incremental Learning for Semantic (WILSS) leverages a pre-trained segmentation model to segment new classes using cost-effective and readily available image-level labels. A prevailing way to solve WILSS is the generation of seed areas for each new class, serving as a form of pixel-level supervision. We propose an innovative, tendency-driven relationship of mutual exclusivity, meticulously tailored to govern the behavior of the seed areas.

  Non-exemplar class-incremental learning is to recognize both the old and new classes when old class samples cannot be saved. Our scheme consists of a structure reorganization strategy that fuses main-branch expansion and side-branch updating to maintain the old features. A prototype selection mechanism is proposed to enhance the discrimination between the old and new classes by selectively incorporating new samples into the distillation process.

  The problem of long-tailed recognition, where the number of examples per class is highly unbalanced, is considered. It is hypothesized that this is due to the repeated sampling of examples and can be addressed by feature space augmentation. A new feature augmentation strategy, EMANATE, based on back-tracking of features across epochs during training, is proposed. A new sampling procedure, Breadcrumb, is then introduced to implement adversarial class-balanced sampling without extra computation.
