• Title: Online Continual Learning for Robust Indoor Object Recognition
• Authors: Umberto Michieli, Mete Ozay
• Abstract summary: Vision systems mounted on home robots need to interact with unseen classes in changing environments. We propose RobOCLe, which constructs an enriched feature space computing high order statistical moments. We show that different moments allow RobOCLe to capture different properties of deformations, providing higher robustness with no decrease of inference speed.

• Abstract: Vision systems mounted on home robots need to interact with unseen classes in changing environments. Robots have limited computational resources, labelled data and storage capability. These requirements pose some unique challenges: models should adapt without forgetting past knowledge in a data- and parameter-efficient way. We characterize the problem as few-shot (FS) online continual learning (OCL), where robotic agents learn from a non-repeated stream of few-shot data updating only a few model parameters. Additionally, such models experience variable conditions at test time, where objects may appear in different poses (e.g., horizontal or vertical) and environments (e.g., day or night). To improve robustness of CL agents, we propose RobOCLe, which; 1) constructs an enriched feature space computing high order statistical moments from the embedded features of samples; and 2) computes similarity between high order statistics of the samples on the enriched feature space, and predicts their class labels. We evaluate robustness of CL models to train/test augmentations in various cases. We show that different moments allow RobOCLe to capture different properties of deformations, providing higher robustness with no decrease of inference speed.

  Few-shot class-incremental learning (FSCIL) confronts the challenge of integrating new classes into a model with minimal training samples. Traditional methods widely adopt static adaptation relying on a fixed parameter space to learn from data that arrive sequentially. We propose a dual selective SSM projector that dynamically adjusts the projection parameters based on the intermediate features for dynamic adaptation.

• Dynamic Federated Learning [57.14673504239551]
  Federated learning has emerged as an umbrella term for centralized coordination strategies in multi-agent environments. We consider a federated learning model where at every iteration, a random subset of available agents perform local updates based on their data. Under a non-stationary random walk model on the true minimizer for the aggregate optimization problem, we establish that the performance of the architecture is determined by three factors, namely, the data variability at each agent, the model variability across all agents, and a tracking term that is inversely proportional to the learning rate of the algorithm.
