• Abstract: In the field of continual learning, relying on so-called oracles for novelty detection is commonplace albeit unrealistic. This paper introduces CONCLAD ("COntinuous Novel CLAss Detector"), a comprehensive solution to the under-explored problem of continual novel class detection in post-deployment data. At each new task, our approach employs an iterative uncertainty estimation algorithm to differentiate between known and novel class(es) samples, and to further discriminate between the different novel classes themselves. Samples predicted to be from a novel class with high-confidence are automatically pseudo-labeled and used to update our model. Simultaneously, a tiny supervision budget is used to iteratively query ambiguous novel class predictions, which are also used during update. Evaluation across multiple datasets, ablations and experimental settings demonstrate our method's effectiveness at separating novel and old class samples continuously. We will release our code upon acceptance.

• Continual Improvement of Threshold-Based Novelty Detection [0.0]
  A family of techniques for detecting novelty relies on thresholds of similarity between observed data points and the data used for training. We propose a new method for automatically selecting these thresholds utilizing a linear search and leave-one-out cross-validation on the ID classes. We demonstrate that this novel method for selecting thresholds results in improved total accuracy on MNIST, Fashion MNIST, and CIFAR-10.

  We propose a novel unsupervised class incremental learning approach for discovering novel categories on unlabeled sets. The proposed method fine-tunes the feature extractor and proxy anchors on labeled sets, then splits samples into old and novel categories and clusters on the unlabeled dataset. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art methods on fine-grained datasets under real-world scenarios.

  Several incremental learning methods are proposed to mitigate catastrophic forgetting for object detection. Despite the effectiveness, these methods require co-occurrence of the unlabeled base classes in the training data of the novel classes. We propose the use of unlabeled in-the-wild data to bridge the non-occurrence caused by the missing base classes during the training of additional novel classes.
