• Title: RECALL: Rehearsal-free Continual Learning for Object Classification
• Authors: Markus Knauer, Maximilian Denninger and Rudolph Triebel
• Abstract summary: Convolutional neural networks show remarkable results in classification but struggle with learning new things on the fly. We present a novel rehearsal-free approach, where a deep neural network is continually learning new unseen object categories. Our approach is called RECALL, as the network recalls categories by calculating logits for old categories before training new ones.

• Abstract: Convolutional neural networks show remarkable results in classification but struggle with learning new things on the fly. We present a novel rehearsal-free approach, where a deep neural network is continually learning new unseen object categories without saving any data of prior sequences. Our approach is called RECALL, as the network recalls categories by calculating logits for old categories before training new ones. These are then used during training to avoid changing the old categories. For each new sequence, a new head is added to accommodate the new categories. To mitigate forgetting, we present a regularization strategy where we replace the classification with a regression. Moreover, for the known categories, we propose a Mahalanobis loss that includes the variances to account for the changing densities between known and unknown categories. Finally, we present a novel dataset for continual learning, especially suited for object recognition on a mobile robot (HOWS-CL-25), including 150,795 synthetic images of 25 household object categories. Our approach RECALL outperforms the current state of the art on CORe50 and iCIFAR-100 and reaches the best performance on HOWS-CL-25.

• NC-NCD: Novel Class Discovery for Node Classification [28.308556235456766]
  Class Discovery (NCD) involves identifying new categories within unlabeled data by utilizing knowledge acquired from previously established categories. Existing NCD methods often struggle to maintain a balance between the performance of old and new categories. We introduce for the first time a more practical NCD scenario for node classification (i.e., NC-NCD) We propose a novel self-training framework with prototype replay and distillation called SWORD, adopted to our NC-NCD setting.

  One of the common approaches is using Machine learning or Deep Learning-based solutions on a fixed number of classes. One of the solutions for handling unknown classes is to retrain the model, however, retraining models every time they become obsolete is both resource and time-consuming. In this paper, we introduce Adaptive Classification By Retrieval CBR, a novel approach for encrypted network traffic classification.

  Generalized Continual Category Discovery (GCCD) tackles learning from sequentially arriving, partially labeled datasets. We introduce a novel technique integrating a learnable projector with feature distillation, thus enhancing model adaptability without sacrificing past knowledge. We demonstrate that while each component offers modest benefits individually, their combination - dubbed CAMP - significantly improves the balance between learning new information and retaining old.

  Generalized category discovery (GCD) aims to automatically cluster partially labeled data. Unlabeled data contain instances that are not only from known categories of the labeled data but also from novel categories. One effective way for GCD is applying self-supervised learning to learn discriminate representation for unlabeled data. We propose a Dynamic Conceptional Contrastive Learning framework, which can effectively improve clustering accuracy.
