• Abstract summary: Few-Shot Class-Incremental Learning (FSCIL) enables machine learning systems to expand their inference capabilities to new classes using only a few labeled examples. O-FSCIL obtains an average accuracy of 68.62% on the FSCIL CIFAR100 benchmark, achieving state-of-the-art results. Tailored for ultra-low-power platforms, we implement O-FSCIL on the 60 mW GAP9 microcontroller, demonstrating online learning capabilities within just 12 mJ per new class.

• Abstract: Few-Shot Class-Incremental Learning (FSCIL) enables machine learning systems to expand their inference capabilities to new classes using only a few labeled examples, without forgetting the previously learned classes. Classical backpropagation-based learning and its variants are often unsuitable for battery-powered, memory-constrained systems at the extreme edge. In this work, we introduce Online Few-Shot Class-Incremental Learning (O-FSCIL), based on a lightweight model consisting of a pretrained and metalearned feature extractor and an expandable explicit memory storing the class prototypes. The architecture is pretrained with a novel feature orthogonality regularization and metalearned with a multi-margin loss. For learning a new class, our approach extends the explicit memory with novel class prototypes, while the remaining architecture is kept frozen. This allows learning previously unseen classes based on only a few examples with one single pass (hence online). O-FSCIL obtains an average accuracy of 68.62% on the FSCIL CIFAR100 benchmark, achieving state-of-the-art results. Tailored for ultra-low-power platforms, we implement O-FSCIL on the 60 mW GAP9 microcontroller, demonstrating online learning capabilities within just 12 mJ per new class.

  Class-incremental learning aims to gradually recognize new classes while maintaining the discriminability of old ones. We propose a non-exemplar semi-supervised CIL framework with contrastive learning and semi-supervised incremental prototype classifier (Semi-IPC) Semi-IPC learns a prototype for each class with unsupervised regularization, enabling the model to incrementally learn from partially labeled new data.

  We propose a simple yet effective framework, named Learning Prompt with Distribution-based Feature Replay (LP-DiF) To prevent the learnable prompt from forgetting old knowledge in the new session, we propose a pseudo-feature replay approach. When progressing to a new session, pseudo-features are sampled from old-class distributions combined with training images of the current session to optimize the prompt.

CIL tends to catastrophically forget the characteristics of former ones, and its performance drastically degrades. We provide a rigorous and unified evaluation of 17 methods in benchmark image classification tasks to find out the characteristics of different algorithms.

  Continually learning new classes from fresh data without forgetting previous knowledge of old classes is a very challenging research problem. We propose C-FSCIL, which is architecturally composed of a frozen meta-learned feature extractor, a trainable fixed-size fully connected layer, and a rewritable dynamically growing memory. C-FSCIL provides three update modes that offer a trade-off between accuracy and compute-memory cost of learning novel classes.

  Existing Class Incremental Learning (CIL) methods are based on a supervised classification framework sensitive to data labels. When updating them based on the new class data, they suffer from catastrophic forgetting: the model cannot discern old class data clearly from the new. In this paper, we explore the performance of Self-Supervised representation learning in Class Incremental Learning (SSCIL) for the first time.
