• Abstract: New classes arise frequently in our ever-changing world, e.g., emerging topics in social media and new types of products in e-commerce. A model should recognize new classes and meanwhile maintain discriminability over old classes. Under severe circumstances, only limited novel instances are available to incrementally update the model. The task of recognizing few-shot new classes without forgetting old classes is called few-shot class-incremental learning (FSCIL). In this work, we propose a new paradigm for FSCIL based on meta-learning by LearnIng Multi-phase Incremental Tasks (LIMIT), which synthesizes fake FSCIL tasks from the base dataset. The data format of fake tasks is consistent with the `real' incremental tasks, and we can build a generalizable feature space for the unseen tasks through meta-learning. Besides, LIMIT also constructs a calibration module based on transformer, which calibrates the old class classifiers and new class prototypes into the same scale and fills in the semantic gap. The calibration module also adaptively contextualizes the instance-specific embedding with a set-to-set function. LIMIT efficiently adapts to new classes and meanwhile resists forgetting over old classes. Experiments on three benchmark datasets (CIFAR100, miniImageNet, and CUB200) and large-scale dataset, i.e., ImageNet ILSVRC2012 validate that LIMIT achieves state-of-the-art performance.

  Few-shot Class Incremental Learning (FSCIL) requires the model to continually learn new classes with limited labeled data. Due to the limited data in incremental sessions, models are prone to overfitting new classes and suffering catastrophic forgetting of base classes. Recent advancements resort to prototype-based approaches to constrain the base class distribution and learn discriminative representations of new classes.

We illustrate that augmenting PaLM2-S with a smaller model trained on low-resource languages results in an absolute improvement of up to 13% on tasks like translation into English. When PaLM2-S is augmented with a code-specific model, we see a relative improvement of 40% over the base model for code generation and explanation tasks.

  Adaptive Task Adapting Sharing (TAPS) is a method for tuning a base model to a new task by adaptively modifying a small, task-specific subset of layers. Compared to other methods, TAPS retains high accuracy on downstream tasks while introducing few task-specific parameters. We evaluate our method on a suite of fine-tuning tasks and architectures (ResNet, DenseNet, ViT) and show that it achieves state-of-the-art performance while being simple to implement.

  We introduce a new setting of Novel Class Discovery in Semantic (NCDSS) It aims at segmenting unlabeled images containing new classes given prior knowledge from a labeled set of disjoint classes. In NCDSS, we need to distinguish the objects and background, and to handle the existence of multiple classes within an image. We propose the Entropy-based Uncertainty Modeling and Self-training (EUMS) framework to overcome noisy pseudo-labels.
