New CIFNet framework solves Class-Incremental Learning analytically

Researchers have developed CIFNet, a novel framework for Class-Incremental Learning (CIL) that bypasses traditional gradient-based optimization. By treating CIL as a sequence of deterministic, closed-form classifier adaptations, CIFNet achieves competitive accuracy with existing methods while significantly reducing computational cost and energy consumption. The framework uses Regularised Recursive Least-Squares (RRLS) to update classifier weights analytically and incorporates a lightweight calibration buffer to ensure balanced decision boundaries without storing raw images or performing gradient updates.
