New paper explains imbalanced forgetting in class-incremental learning

Researchers have identified a phenomenon called imbalanced forgetting in class-incremental learning, where some classes are forgotten more than others despite balanced rehearsal strategies. A new paper proposes three last-layer coefficients derived from gradient analysis to predict and explain this imbalanced forgetting. One coefficient, representing self-induced interference, appears to be the strongest predictor and is influenced by new-class interference. AI

IMPACT Provides a mechanistic account for imbalanced forgetting in CIL, suggesting new directions for model improvement.

    Understanding Imbalanced Forgetting in Rehearsal-Based Class-Incremental Learning

    Neural networks suffer from catastrophic forgetting in class-incremental learning (CIL) settings. Rehearsal$\unicode{x2013}$replaying a subset of past samples$\unicode{x2013}$is a well-established mitigation strategy. However, recent results suggest that, despite balanced rehears…
