• Abstract summary: Food image classification systems play a crucial role in health monitoring and diet tracking through image-based dietary assessment techniques. Existing food recognition systems rely on static datasets characterized by a pre-defined fixed number of food classes. We introduce the concept of continuously learning a neural compression model to adaptively improve the quality of compressed data.

• Abstract: Food image classification systems play a crucial role in health monitoring and diet tracking through image-based dietary assessment techniques. However, existing food recognition systems rely on static datasets characterized by a pre-defined fixed number of food classes. This contrasts drastically with the reality of food consumption, which features constantly changing data. Therefore, food image classification systems should adapt to and manage data that continuously evolves. This is where continual learning plays an important role. A challenge in continual learning is catastrophic forgetting, where ML models tend to discard old knowledge upon learning new information. While memory-replay algorithms have shown promise in mitigating this problem by storing old data as exemplars, they are hampered by the limited capacity of memory buffers, leading to an imbalance between new and previously learned data. To address this, our work explores the use of neural image compression to extend buffer size and enhance data diversity. We introduced the concept of continuously learning a neural compression model to adaptively improve the quality of compressed data and optimize the bitrates per pixel (bpp) to store more exemplars. Our extensive experiments, including evaluations on food-specific datasets including Food-101 and VFN-74, as well as the general dataset ImageNet-100, demonstrate improvements in classification accuracy. This progress is pivotal in advancing more realistic food recognition systems that are capable of adapting to continually evolving data. Moreover, the principles and methodologies we've developed hold promise for broader applications, extending their benefits to other domains of continual machine learning systems.

  Food image segmentation is an important task that has ubiquitous applications, such as estimating the nutritional value of a plate of food. One challenge is that food items can overlap and mix, making them difficult to distinguish. Two models are trained and compared, one based on convolutional neural networks and the other on Bidirectional representation for Image Transformers (BEiT) The BEiT model outperforms the previous state-of-the-art model by achieving a mean intersection over union of 49.4 on FoodSeg103.

  We study class-incremental learning, a training setup in which new classes of data are observed over time for the model to learn from. Despite the straightforward problem formulation, the naive application of classification models to class-incremental learning results in the "catastrophic forgetting" of previously seen classes. One of the most successful existing methods has been the use of a memory of exemplars, which overcomes the issue of catastrophic forgetting by saving a subset of past data into a memory bank and utilizing it to prevent forgetting when training future tasks.
