• Abstract: Different from human nature, it is still common practice today for vision tasks to train deep learning models only initially and on fixed datasets. A variety of approaches have recently addressed handling continual data streams. However, extending these methods to manage out-of-distribution (OOD) scenarios has not effectively been investigated. On the other hand, it has recently been shown that non-continual neural mesh models exhibit strong performance in generalizing to such OOD scenarios. To leverage this decisive property in a continual learning setting, we propose incremental neural mesh models that can be extended with new meshes over time. In addition, we present a latent space initialization strategy that enables us to allocate feature space for future unseen classes in advance and a positional regularization term that forces the features of the different classes to consistently stay in respective latent space regions. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method through extensive experiments on the Pascal3D and ObjectNet3D datasets and show that our approach outperforms the baselines for classification by $2-6\%$ in the in-domain and by $6-50\%$ in the OOD setting. Our work also presents the first incremental learning approach for pose estimation. Our code and model can be found at https://github.com/Fischer-Tom/iNeMo.

  This paper introduces a new method to tackle the Few-Shot Continual Incremental Learning problem in 3D point cloud environments. We leverage a foundational 3D model trained extensively on point cloud data. Our approach uses a dual cache system: first, it uses previous test samples based on how confident the model was in its predictions to prevent forgetting, and second, it includes a small number of new task samples to prevent overfitting.

We utilize a self-supervision scheme to reduce the domain shift between two skeleton-based action datasets. By segmenting and permuting temporal segments or human body parts, we design two self-supervised learning classification tasks.

  We present Contrastive Neighborhood Alignment (CNA), a manifold learning approach to maintain the topology of learned features. The target model aims to mimic the local structure of the source representation space using a contrastive loss. CNA is illustrated in three scenarios: manifold learning, where the model maintains the local topology of the original data in a dimension-reduced space; model distillation, where a small student model is trained to mimic a larger teacher; and legacy model update, where an older model is replaced by a more powerful one.
