• Title: A Survey on Continual Semantic Segmentation: Theory, Challenge, Method and Application
• Authors: Bo Yuan, Danpei Zhao,
• Abstract summary: Continual learning, also known as incremental learning or life-long learning, stands at the forefront of deep learning and AI systems. We present a review of Continual semantic segmentation (CSS), of which the dense prediction peculiarity makes it a challenging, intricate and burgeoning task. We sort out and categorize current CSS models into two main branches including data-replay and data-free sets. We also introduce four CSS specialities with diverse application scenarios and development tendencies.

• Abstract: Continual learning, also known as incremental learning or life-long learning, stands at the forefront of deep learning and AI systems. It breaks through the obstacle of one-way training on close sets and enables continuous adaptive learning on open-set conditions. In the recent decade, continual learning has been explored and applied in multiple fields especially in computer vision covering classification, detection and segmentation tasks. Continual semantic segmentation (CSS), of which the dense prediction peculiarity makes it a challenging, intricate and burgeoning task. In this paper, we present a review of CSS, committing to building a comprehensive survey on problem formulations, primary challenges, universal datasets, neoteric theories and multifarious applications. Concretely, we begin by elucidating the problem definitions and primary challenges. Based on an in-depth investigation of relevant approaches, we sort out and categorize current CSS models into two main branches including data-replay and data-free sets. In each branch, the corresponding approaches are similarity-based clustered and thoroughly analyzed, following qualitative comparison and quantitative reproductions on relevant datasets. Besides, we also introduce four CSS specialities with diverse application scenarios and development tendencies. Furthermore, we develop a benchmark for CSS encompassing representative references, evaluation results and reproductions, which is available at~\url{https://github.com/YBIO/SurveyCSS}. We hope this survey can serve as a reference-worthy and stimulating contribution to the advancement of the life-long learning field, while also providing valuable perspectives for related fields.

  We focus on a relatively under-explored task setting, long-tailed semantic segmentation (LTSS) We propose a dual-metric evaluation system and construct the LTSS benchmark to demonstrate the performance of semantic segmentation methods and long-tailed solutions. We also propose a transformer-based algorithm to improve LTSS, frequency-based matcher, which solves the oversuppression problem by one-to-many matching.

  Clustering is a fundamental machine learning task which has been widely studied in the literature. Deep Clustering, i.e., jointly optimizing the representation learning and clustering, has been proposed and hence attracted growing attention in the community. We summarize the essential components of deep clustering and categorize existing methods by the ways they design interactions between deep representation learning and clustering.
