• Abstract: Few Shot Class Incremental Learning (FSCIL) with few examples per class for each incremental session is the realistic setting of continual learning since obtaining large number of annotated samples is not feasible and cost effective. We present the framework MASIL as a step towards learning the maximal separable classifier. It addresses the common problem i.e forgetting of old classes and over-fitting to novel classes by learning the classifier weights to be maximally separable between classes forming a simplex Equiangular Tight Frame. We propose the idea of concept factorization explaining the collapsed features for base session classes in terms of concept basis and use these to induce classifier simplex for few shot classes. We further adds fine tuning to reduce any error occurred during factorization and train the classifier jointly on base and novel classes without retaining any base class samples in memory. Experimental results on miniImageNet, CIFAR-100 and CUB-200 demonstrate that MASIL outperforms all the benchmarks.

  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.

  Few-shot class-incremental learning (FSCIL) has been a challenging problem as only a few training samples are accessible for each novel class in the new sessions. We deal with this misalignment dilemma in FSCIL inspired by the recently discovered phenomenon named neural collapse. We propose a neural collapse inspired framework for FSCIL. Experiments on the miniImageNet, CUB-200, and CIFAR-100 datasets demonstrate that our proposed framework outperforms the state-of-the-art performances.
