• Title: Beyond Supervised Continual Learning: a Review
• Authors: Benedikt Bagus, Alexander Gepperth, Timoth\'ee Lesort
• Abstract summary: Continual Learning (CL) is a flavor of machine learning where the usual assumption of stationary data distribution is relaxed or omitted. Changes in the data distribution can cause the so-called catastrophic forgetting (CF) effect: an abrupt loss of previous knowledge. This article reviews literature that study CL in other settings, such as learning with reduced supervision, fully unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning.

• Abstract: Continual Learning (CL, sometimes also termed incremental learning) is a flavor of machine learning where the usual assumption of stationary data distribution is relaxed or omitted. When naively applying, e.g., DNNs in CL problems, changes in the data distribution can cause the so-called catastrophic forgetting (CF) effect: an abrupt loss of previous knowledge. Although many significant contributions to enabling CL have been made in recent years, most works address supervised (classification) problems. This article reviews literature that study CL in other settings, such as learning with reduced supervision, fully unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning. Besides proposing a simple schema for classifying CL approaches w.r.t. their level of autonomy and supervision, we discuss the specific challenges associated with each setting and the potential contributions to the field of CL in general.

  Severe data imbalance naturally exists among web-scale vision-language datasets. We find CLIP pre-trained thereupon exhibits notable robustness to the data imbalance compared to supervised learning. The robustness and discriminability of CLIP improve with more descriptive language supervision, larger data scale, and broader open-world concepts.

  Continual Learning (CL) approaches seek to bridge this gap by facilitating the transfer of knowledge to both previous tasks and future ones. Recent research has shown that self-supervision can produce versatile models that can generalize well to diverse downstream tasks. We propose Continual Learning via Equivariant Regularization (CLER), an OCL approach that leverages equivariant tasks for self-supervision.
