New SELECT method tackles catastrophic forgetting in semantic segmentation

Researchers have introduced SELECT, a novel method for Class-Incremental Semantic Segmentation (CISS) designed to mitigate catastrophic forgetting and background shift. The approach grounds new class learning in semantically similar past classes through a Context Transfer Attention mechanism, which aggregates learned tokens for structured initialization. To maintain representation integrity, SELECT incorporates controlled noise perturbation and a margin-based loss function. Experiments on Pascal VOC and ADE20K datasets demonstrate SELECT's superior performance over existing methods, achieving improved mIoU scores. AI

IMPACT This research offers a novel approach to improve semantic segmentation models by addressing catastrophic forgetting, potentially leading to more robust and adaptable AI systems in computer vision tasks.

    SELECT: SELEctive Context Transfer for Class-Incremental Semantic Segmentation

    arXiv:2608.30281v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Class-Incremental Semantic Segmentation (CISS) is fundamentally challenged by catastrophic forgetting and background shift, where learning new concepts degrades performance on previously seen classes. While existing methods attempt …
