Researchers have explored the application of continual learning strategies to recurrent neural networks for surface electromyography (sEMG) gesture recognition. Their evaluation on the NinaPro DB1 dataset revealed that experience replay significantly outperforms elastic weight consolidation and naive fine-tuning, achieving 83.3% accuracy under class-incremental drift while minimizing accuracy loss. The study also found that training models on shuffled, independently-windowed segments is crucial for stable learning, as temporal ordering can lead to the prediction of a single dominant gesture. Furthermore, incorporating hand-crafted time-domain features can boost per-task accuracy by up to 40%, with experience replay being the only strategy that preserves this gain under class-incremental drift.
