• Abstract: In this paper, we consider a challenging but realistic continual learning (CL) problem, Few-Shot Continual Active Learning (FoCAL), where a CL agent is provided with unlabeled data for a new or a previously learned task in each increment and the agent only has limited labeling budget available. Towards this, we build on the continual learning and active learning literature and develop a framework that can allow a CL agent to continually learn new object classes from a few labeled training examples. Our framework represents each object class using a uniform Gaussian mixture model (GMM) and uses pseudo-rehearsal to mitigate catastrophic forgetting. The framework also uses uncertainty measures on the Gaussian representations of the previously learned classes to find the most informative samples to be labeled in an increment. We evaluate our approach on the CORe-50 dataset and on a real humanoid robot for the object classification task. The results show that our approach not only produces state-of-the-art results on the dataset but also allows a real robot to continually learn unseen objects in a real environment with limited labeling supervision provided by its user.

  We propose a visual-language model such as CLIP to generate text feature embeddings for different class sets. We then employ super-classes to replace the unavailable novel classes in the early learning stage to simulate the incremental scenario. We incorporate the finely recognized detection boxes as pseudo-annotations into the training process, thereby further improving the detection performance.

  Learning Active Learning (LAL) suggests to learn the active learning strategy itself, allowing it to adapt to the given setting. We propose a novel LAL method for classification that exploits symmetry and independence properties of the active learning problem. Our approach is based on learning from a myopic oracle, which gives our model the ability to adapt to non-standard objectives.
