• Abstract: Intrinsic capability to continuously learn a changing data stream is a desideratum of deep neural networks (DNNs). However, current DNNs suffer from catastrophic forgetting, which hinders remembering past knowledge. To mitigate this issue, existing Continual Learning (CL) approaches either retain exemplars for replay, regularize learning, or allocate dedicated capacity for new tasks. This paper investigates an unexplored CL direction for incremental learning called Incremental Latent Rectification or ILR. In a nutshell, ILR learns to propagate with correction (or rectify) the representation from the current trained DNN backward to the representation space of the old task, where performing predictive decisions is easier. This rectification process only employs a chain of small representation mapping networks, called rectifier units. Empirical experiments on several continual learning benchmarks, including CIFAR10, CIFAR100, and Tiny ImageNet, demonstrate the effectiveness and potential of this novel CL direction compared to existing representative CL methods.

  A crucial capability of Machine Learning models in real-world applications is the ability to continuously learn new tasks. In Continual Learning settings, models often struggle to balance learning new tasks with retaining previous knowledge. We propose new learning objectives that integrate the regularization effects of multiple previous posterior estimations.

  Online Continual Learning (OCL) empowers machine learning models to acquire new knowledge online across a sequence of tasks. OCL faces a significant challenge: catastrophic forgetting, wherein the model learned in previous tasks is substantially overwritten upon encountering new tasks. We propose a novel rehearsal strategy, Drift-Reducing Rehearsal (DRR), to anchor the domain of old tasks and reduce the negative transfer effects.

  We focus on the change in representations of observed data that arises when previously unobserved classes appear in the incoming data stream. We show that applying Experience Replay causes the newly added classes' representations to overlap significantly with the previous classes. We propose a new method which mitigates this issue by shielding the learned representations from drastic adaptation to accommodate new classes.

  Continual Learning (CL) methods aim to enable machine learning models to learn new tasks without catastrophic forgetting of those that have been previously mastered. Existing CL approaches often keep a buffer of previously-seen samples, perform knowledge distillation, or use regularization techniques towards this goal. We propose to only activate and select sparse neurons for learning current and past tasks at any stage.
