• Abstract summary: "catastrophic forgetting" problem occurs when model forgets previously learned features when it is extended to new categories or tasks. We propose a network by introducing the data-specific Mixture of Experts structure to handle the new tasks or categories. We validate our method on both class-level and task-level continual learning challenges.

• Abstract: The primary goal of continual learning (CL) task in medical image segmentation field is to solve the "catastrophic forgetting" problem, where the model totally forgets previously learned features when it is extended to new categories (class-level) or tasks (task-level). Due to the privacy protection, the historical data labels are inaccessible. Prevalent continual learning methods primarily focus on generating pseudo-labels for old datasets to force the model to memorize the learned features. However, the incorrect pseudo-labels may corrupt the learned feature and lead to a new problem that the better the model is trained on the old task, the poorer the model performs on the new tasks. To avoid this problem, we propose a network by introducing the data-specific Mixture of Experts (MoE) structure to handle the new tasks or categories, ensuring that the network parameters of previous tasks are unaffected or only minimally impacted. To further overcome the tremendous memory costs caused by introducing additional structures, we propose a Low-Rank strategy which significantly reduces memory cost. We validate our method on both class-level and task-level continual learning challenges. Extensive experiments on multiple datasets show our model outperforms all other methods.

  We propose a method to Mitigate Catastrophic Forgetting in class-incremental learning for multimodal Video Captioning (MCF-VC) In order to better constrain the knowledge characteristics of old and new tasks at the specific feature level, we have created the Two-stage Knowledge Distillation (TsKD) Our experiments on the public dataset MSR-VTT show that the proposed method significantly resists the forgetting of previous tasks without replaying old samples, and performs well on the new task.

  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.

  We study the issue of catastrophic forgetting in class-incremental learning (Class-IL) In training procedure of Class-IL, as the model has no knowledge about following tasks, it would only extract features necessary for tasks learned so far, whose information is insufficient for joint classification. We propose to combine self-supervised learning, which can provide effective representations without requiring labels, with Class-IL to partly get around this problem.
