Deep Artificial Immune Networks achieve replay-free visual memory

Researchers have developed a novel approach to unsupervised visual class-incremental learning using deep artificial immune networks (AINs). This method employs structured, gradient-free immune affinity, formalizing visual B-cells as structured templates that capture spatial relationships. The system demonstrates adaptive latent coordinate reorganization, allowing the network to evolve its representation space while retaining memory of previously learned classes without requiring data replay or backpropagation through the immune layers. Experiments on several benchmark datasets show significant improvements in balanced accuracy, highlighting the importance of structured affinity and response-map preservation for effective visual memory.

    Structured Affinity for Unsupervised Visual Class-Incremental Memory in Deep Artificial Immune Networks

    arXiv:2608.20104v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Artificial immune networks (AINs) are naturally memory-forming systems, but conventional visual AINs often rely on flattened vector affinity that ignores spatial structure. This paper studies whether structured, gradient-free immu…
