• Abstract: Object Detection is a highly relevant computer vision problem with many applications such as robotics and autonomous driving. Continual Learning~(CL) considers a setting where a model incrementally learns new information while retaining previously acquired knowledge. This is particularly challenging since Deep Learning models tend to catastrophically forget old knowledge while training on new data. In particular, Continual Learning for Object Detection~(CLOD) poses additional difficulties compared to CL for Classification. In CLOD, images from previous tasks may contain unknown classes that could reappear labeled in future tasks. These missing annotations cause task interference issues for replay-based approaches. As a result, most works in the literature have focused on distillation-based approaches. However, these approaches are effective only when there is a strong overlap of classes across tasks. To address the issues of current methodologies, we propose a novel technique to solve CLOD called Replay Consolidation with Label Propagation for Object Detection (RCLPOD). Based on the replay method, our solution avoids task interference issues by enhancing the buffer memory samples. Our method is evaluated against existing techniques in CLOD literature, demonstrating its superior performance on established benchmarks like VOC and COCO.

  Continual learning techniques employ simple replay sample selection processes and use them during subsequent tasks. In this paper, we depart from this by automatically selecting prototypes stored without labels. "Push-away" and "pull-toward" mechanisms are also introduced for class-incremental and domain-incremental scenarios.

  Deep learning systems are prone to catastrophic forgetting when learning from a sequence of tasks. To mitigate the problem, a line of methods propose to replay the data of experienced tasks when learning new tasks. However, it is not expected in practice considering the memory constraint or data privacy issue. As a replacement, data-free data replay methods are proposed by inverting samples from the classification model.

  We propose a visual-language model such as CLIP to generate text feature embeddings for different class sets. We then employ super-classes to replace the unavailable novel classes in the early learning stage to simulate the incremental scenario. We incorporate the finely recognized detection boxes as pseudo-annotations into the training process, thereby further improving the detection performance.

• Dealing with Cross-Task Class Discrimination in Online Continual Learning [54.31411109376545]
  This paper argues for another challenge in class-incremental learning (CIL) How to establish decision boundaries between the classes of the new task and old tasks with no (or limited) access to the old task data. A replay method saves a small amount of data (replay data) from previous tasks. When a batch of current task data arrives, the system jointly trains the new data and some sampled replay data. This paper argues that the replay approach also has a dynamic training bias issue which reduces the effectiveness of the replay data in solving the CTCD problem.
