• Abstract: Despite the critical importance of the medical domain in Deep Learning, most of the research in this area solely focuses on training models in static environments. It is only in recent years that research has begun to address dynamic environments and tackle the Catastrophic Forgetting problem through Continual Learning (CL) techniques. Previous studies have primarily focused on scenarios such as Domain Incremental Learning and Class Incremental Learning, which do not fully capture the complexity of real-world applications. Therefore, in this work, we propose a novel benchmark combining the challenges of new class arrivals and domain shifts in a single framework, by considering the New Instances and New Classes (NIC) scenario. This benchmark aims to model a realistic CL setting for the multi-label classification problem in medical imaging. Additionally, it encompasses a greater number of tasks compared to previously tested scenarios. Specifically, our benchmark consists of two datasets (NIH and CXP), nineteen classes, and seven tasks, a stream longer than the previously tested ones. To solve common challenges (e.g., the task inference problem) found in the CIL and NIC scenarios, we propose a novel approach called Replay Consolidation with Label Propagation (RCLP). Our method surpasses existing approaches, exhibiting superior performance with minimal forgetting.

  We present an overview of the Time Series Class-incremental Learning (TSCIL) problem, highlight its unique challenges, and cover the advanced methodologies. Based on standardized settings, we develop a unified experimental framework that supports the rapid development of new algorithms. Using this framework, we conduct a comprehensive evaluation of various generic and time-series-specific CIL methods in both standard and privacy-sensitive scenarios.

  We introduce a new setting of Novel Class Discovery in Semantic (NCDSS) It aims at segmenting unlabeled images containing new classes given prior knowledge from a labeled set of disjoint classes. In NCDSS, we need to distinguish the objects and background, and to handle the existence of multiple classes within an image. We propose the Entropy-based Uncertainty Modeling and Self-training (EUMS) framework to overcome noisy pseudo-labels.
