Few-shot class-incremental learning is to recognize the new classes given few samples and not forget the old classes. It is a challenging task since representation optimization and prototype reorganization can only be achieved under little supervision. To address this problem, we propose a novel incremental prototype learning scheme. Our scheme consists of a random episode selection strategy that adapts the feature representation to various generated incremental episodes to enhance the corresponding extensibility, and a self-promoted prototype refinement mechanism which strengthens the expression ability of the new classes by explicitly considering the dependencies among different classes. Particularly, a dynamic relation projection module is proposed to calculate the relation matrix in a shared embedding space and leverage it as the factor for bootstrapping the update of prototypes. Extensive experiments on three benchmark datasets demonstrate the above-par incremental performance, outperforming state-of-the-art methods by a margin of 13%, 17% and 11%, respectively.

The ability to incrementally learn new classes is crucial to the development of real-world artificial intelligence systems. In this paper, we focus on a challenging but practical few-shot class-incremental learning (FSCIL) problem. FSCIL requires CNN
models to incrementally learn new classes from very few labelled samples, without forgetting the previously learned ones. To address this problem, we represent the knowledge using a neural gas (NG) network, which can learn and preserve the topology of the feature manifold formed by different classes. On this basis, we propose the TOpology-Preserving knowledge InCrementer (TOPIC) framework. TOPIC mitigates the forgetting of the old classes by stabilizing NGs topology and improves the representation learning for few-shot new classes by growing and adapting NG to new training samples. Comprehensive experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method significantly outperforms other state-of-the-art class-incremental learning methods on CIFAR100, miniImageNet, and CUB200 datasets.
Few-shot segmentation targets to segment new classes with few annotated images provided. It is more challenging than traditional semantic segmentation tasks that segment known classes with abundant annotated images. In this paper, we propose a Protot
ype Refinement Network (PRNet) to attack the challenge of few-shot segmentation. It firstly learns to bidirectionally extract prototypes from both support and query images of the known classes. Furthermore, to extract representative prototypes of the new classes, we use adaptation and fusion for prototype refinement. The step of adaptation makes the model to learn new concepts which is directly implemented by retraining. Prototype fusion is firstly proposed which fuses support prototypes with query prototypes, incorporating the knowledge from both sides. It is effective in prototype refinement without importing extra learnable parameters. In this way, the prototypes become more discriminative in low-data regimes. Experiments on PASAL-$5^i$ and COCO-$20^i$ demonstrate the superiority of our method. Especially on COCO-$20^i$, PRNet significantly outperforms existing methods by a large margin of 13.1% in 1-shot setting.
Few-shot class incremental learning (FSCIL) portrays the problem of learning new concepts gradually, where only a few examples per concept are available to the learner. Due to the limited number of examples for training, the techniques developed for
standard incremental learning cannot be applied verbatim to FSCIL. In this work, we introduce a distillation algorithm to address the problem of FSCIL and propose to make use of semantic information during training. To this end, we make use of word embeddings as semantic information which is cheap to obtain and which facilitate the distillation process. Furthermore, we propose a method based on an attention mechanism on multiple parallel embeddings of visual data to align visual and semantic vectors, which reduces issues related to catastrophic forgetting. Via experiments on MiniImageNet, CUB200, and CIFAR100 dataset, we establish new state-of-the-art results by outperforming existing approaches.
Conventional detection networks usually need abundant labeled training samples, while humans can learn new concepts incrementally with just a few examples. This paper focuses on a more challenging but realistic class-incremental few-shot object detec
tion problem (iFSD). It aims to incrementally transfer the model for novel objects from only a few annotated samples without catastrophically forgetting the previously learned ones. To tackle this problem, we propose a novel method LEAST, which can transfer with Less forgetting, fEwer training resources, And Stronger Transfer capability. Specifically, we first present the transfer strategy to reduce unnecessary weight adaptation and improve the transfer capability for iFSD. On this basis, we then integrate the knowledge distillation technique using a less resource-consuming approach to alleviate forgetting and propose a novel clustering-based exemplar selection process to preserve more discriminative features previously learned. Being a generic and effective method, LEAST can largely improve the iFSD performance on various benchmarks.
Few-shot class-incremental learning (FSCIL), which targets at continuously expanding models representation capacity under few supervisions, is an important yet challenging problem. On the one hand, when fitting new tasks (novel classes), features tra
ined on old tasks (old classes) could significantly drift, causing catastrophic forgetting. On the other hand, training the large amount of model parameters with few-shot novel-class examples leads to model over-fitting. In this paper, we propose a learnable expansion-and-compression network (LEC-Net), with the aim to simultaneously solve catastrophic forgetting and model over-fitting problems in a unified framework. By tentatively expanding network nodes, LEC-Net enlarges the representation capacity of features, alleviating feature drift of old network from the perspective of model regularization. By compressing the expanded network nodes, LEC-Net purses minimal increase of model parameters, alleviating over-fitting of the expanded network from a perspective of compact representation. Experiments on the CUB/CIFAR-100 datasets show that LEC-Net improves the baseline by 5~7% while outperforms the state-of-the-art by 5~6%. LEC-Net also demonstrates the potential to be a general incremental learning approach with dynamic model expansion capability.
