• Title: Continual Learning for Pose-Agnostic Object Recognition in 3D Point Clouds
• Authors: Xihao Wang, Xian Wei
• Abstract summary: This work focuses on pose-agnostic continual learning tasks, where the object's pose changes dynamically and unpredictably. We propose a novel continual learning model that effectively distillates previous tasks' geometric equivariance information. The experiments show that our method overcomes the challenge of pose-agnostic scenarios in several mainstream point cloud datasets.

• Abstract: Continual Learning aims to learn multiple incoming new tasks continually, and to keep the performance of learned tasks at a consistent level. However, existing research on continual learning assumes the pose of the object is pre-defined and well-aligned. For practical application, this work focuses on pose-agnostic continual learning tasks, where the object's pose changes dynamically and unpredictably. The point cloud augmentation adopted from past approaches would sharply rise with the task increment in the continual learning process. To address this problem, we inject the equivariance as the additional prior knowledge into the networks. We proposed a novel continual learning model that effectively distillates previous tasks' geometric equivariance information. The experiments show that our method overcomes the challenge of pose-agnostic scenarios in several mainstream point cloud datasets. We further conduct ablation studies to evaluate the validation of each component of our approach.

  We take a task-agnostic view of continual learning and develop a hierarchical information-theoretic optimality principle. We propose a neural network layer, called the Mixture-of-Variational-Experts layer, that alleviates forgetting by creating a set of information processing paths. Our approach can operate in a task-agnostic way, i.e., it does not require task-specific knowledge, as is the case with many existing continual learning algorithms.

  Continual learning is a concept of online learning with multiple sequential tasks. One of the critical barriers of continual learning is that a network should learn a new task keeping the knowledge of old tasks without access to any data of the old tasks. We propose a neuron activation importance-based regularization method for stable continual learning regardless of the order of tasks.
