• Abstract: Lifelong person re-identification (LReID) assumes a practical scenario where the model is sequentially trained on continuously incoming datasets while alleviating the catastrophic forgetting in the old datasets. However, not only the training datasets but also the gallery images are incrementally accumulated, that requires a huge amount of computational complexity and storage space to extract the features at the inference phase. In this paper, we address the above mentioned problem by incorporating the backward-compatibility to LReID for the first time. We train the model using the continuously incoming datasets while maintaining the model's compatibility toward the previously trained old models without re-computing the features of the old gallery images. To this end, we devise the cross-model compatibility loss based on the contrastive learning with respect to the replay features across all the old datasets. Moreover, we also develop the knowledge consolidation method based on the part classification to learn the shared representation across different datasets for the backward-compatibility. We suggest a more practical methodology for performance evaluation as well where all the gallery and query images are considered together. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves a significantly higher performance of the backward-compatibility compared with the existing methods. It is a promising tool for more practical scenarios of LReID.

  Visual retrieval systems face challenges when updating models with improved representations due to misalignment between the old and new representations. Prior research has explored backward-compatible training methods that enable direct comparisons between new and old representations without backfilling. In this paper, we address achieving a balance between backward compatibility and the performance of independently trained models.

  Learning compatible representations enables the interchangeable use of semantic features as models are updated over time. This is particularly relevant in search and retrieval systems where it is crucial to avoid reprocessing of the gallery images with the updated model. We show that the stationary representations learned by the $d$-Simplex fixed classifier optimally approximate compatibility representation according to the two inequality constraints of its formal definition.

  Continual learning requires a model to adapt to ongoing changes in the data distribution. We show that the combination of a large language model and an image generation model can similarly provide useful premonitions. We find that the backbone of our pre-trained networks can learn representations useful for the downstream continual learning problem.

  We propose to equip vision-text models with the ability to refine their embedding with cross-modal retrieved information from a memory at inference time. Remarkably, we show that this can be done with a light-weight, single-layer, fusion transformer on top of a frozen CLIP. Our experiments validate that our retrieval-enhanced contrastive (RECO) training improves CLIP performance substantially on several challenging fine-grained tasks.

  We propose a way to learn visual features that are compatible with previously computed ones even when they have different dimensions. This enables visual search systems to bypass computing new features for all previously seen images when updating the embedding models. We propose a framework to train embedding models, called backward-compatible training (BCT), as a first step towards backward compatible representation learning.
