Continual Learning, also known as Lifelong or Incremental Learning, has recently gained renewed interest among the Artificial Intelligence research community. Recent research efforts have quickly led to the design of novel algorithms able to reduce the impact of the catastrophic forgetting phenomenon in deep neural networks. Due to this surge of interest in the field, many competitions have been held in recent years, as they are an excellent opportunity to stimulate research in promising directions. This paper summarizes the ideas, design choices, rules, and results of the challenge held at the 3rd Continual Learning in Computer Vision (CLVision) Workshop at CVPR 2022. The focus of this competition is the complex continual object detection task, which is still underexplored in literature compared to classification tasks. The challenge is based on the challenge version of the novel EgoObjects dataset, a large-scale egocentric object dataset explicitly designed to benchmark continual learning algorithms for egocentric category-/instance-level object understanding, which covers more than 1k unique main objects and 250+ categories in around 100k video frames.

持续学习（CL）的重点是开发具有适应新环境并学习新技能的算法。近年来，这项非常具有挑战性的任务引起了人们的极大兴趣，新解决方案迅速出现。在本文中，我们提出了一种NVFNET-RDC方法进行连续对象检测。我们的NVFNET-RDC由教师学生组成，并采用重播和功能蒸馏策略。作为第一名解决方案，我们分别在第三个Clvision Challenge Track 2和Track 3上获得了55.94％和54.65％的平均地图。

Continual Learning (CL) is a field dedicated to devise algorithms able to achieve lifelong learning. Overcoming the knowledge disruption of previously acquired concepts, a drawback affecting deep learning models and that goes by the name of catastrophic forgetting, is a hard challenge. Currently, deep learning methods can attain impressive results when the data modeled does not undergo a considerable distributional shift in subsequent learning sessions, but whenever we expose such systems to this incremental setting, performance drop very quickly. Overcoming this limitation is fundamental as it would allow us to build truly intelligent systems showing stability and plasticity. Secondly, it would allow us to overcome the onerous limitation of retraining these architectures from scratch with the new updated data. In this thesis, we tackle the problem from multiple directions. In a first study, we show that in rehearsal-based techniques (systems that use memory buffer), the quantity of data stored in the rehearsal buffer is a more important factor over the quality of the data. Secondly, we propose one of the early works of incremental learning on ViTs architectures, comparing functional, weight and attention regularization approaches and propose effective novel a novel asymmetric loss. At the end we conclude with a study on pretraining and how it affects the performance in Continual Learning, raising some questions about the effective progression of the field. We then conclude with some future directions and closing remarks.

Artificial neural networks thrive in solving the classification problem for a particular rigid task, acquiring knowledge through generalized learning behaviour from a distinct training phase. The resulting network resembles a static entity of knowledge, with endeavours to extend this knowledge without targeting the original task resulting in a catastrophic forgetting. Continual learning shifts this paradigm towards networks that can continually accumulate knowledge over different tasks without the need to retrain from scratch. We focus on task incremental classification, where tasks arrive sequentially and are delineated by clear boundaries. Our main contributions concern (1) a taxonomy and extensive overview of the state-of-the-art; (2) a novel framework to continually determine the stability-plasticity trade-off of the continual learner; (3) a comprehensive experimental comparison of 11 state-of-the-art continual learning methods and 4 baselines. We empirically scrutinize method strengths and weaknesses on three benchmarks, considering Tiny Imagenet and large-scale unbalanced iNaturalist and a sequence of recognition datasets. We study the influence of model capacity, weight decay and dropout regularization, and the order in which the tasks are presented, and qualitatively compare methods in terms of required memory, computation time and storage.

标记数据通常昂贵且耗时，特别是对于诸如对象检测和实例分割之类的任务，这需要对图像的密集标签进行密集的标签。虽然几张拍摄对象检测是关于培训小说中的模型（看不见的）对象类具有很少的数据，但它仍然需要在许多标记的基础（见）类的课程上进行训练。另一方面，自我监督的方法旨在从未标记数据学习的学习表示，该数据转移到诸如物体检测的下游任务。结合几次射击和自我监督的物体检测是一个有前途的研究方向。在本调查中，我们审查并表征了几次射击和自我监督对象检测的最新方法。然后，我们给我们的主要外卖，并讨论未来的研究方向。https://gabrielhuang.github.io/fsod-survey/的项目页面

人类的持续学习（CL）能力与稳定性与可塑性困境密切相关，描述了人类如何实现持续的学习能力和保存的学习信息。自发育以来，CL的概念始终存在于人工智能（AI）中。本文提出了对CL的全面审查。与之前的评论不同，主要关注CL中的灾难性遗忘现象，本文根据稳定性与可塑性机制的宏观视角来调查CL。类似于生物对应物，“智能”AI代理商应该是I）记住以前学到的信息（信息回流）; ii）不断推断新信息（信息浏览:); iii）转移有用的信息（信息转移），以实现高级CL。根据分类学，评估度量，算法，应用以及一些打开问题。我们的主要贡献涉及I）从人工综合情报层面重新检查CL; ii）在CL主题提供详细和广泛的概述; iii）提出一些关于CL潜在发展的新颖思路。

The 1$^{\text{st}}$ Workshop on Maritime Computer Vision (MaCVi) 2023 focused on maritime computer vision for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV), and organized several subchallenges in this domain: (i) UAV-based Maritime Object Detection, (ii) UAV-based Maritime Object Tracking, (iii) USV-based Maritime Obstacle Segmentation and (iv) USV-based Maritime Obstacle Detection. The subchallenges were based on the SeaDronesSee and MODS benchmarks. This report summarizes the main findings of the individual subchallenges and introduces a new benchmark, called SeaDronesSee Object Detection v2, which extends the previous benchmark by including more classes and footage. We provide statistical and qualitative analyses, and assess trends in the best-performing methodologies of over 130 submissions. The methods are summarized in the appendix. The datasets, evaluation code and the leaderboard are publicly available at https://seadronessee.cs.uni-tuebingen.de/macvi.

人类智慧的主食是以不断的方式获取知识的能力。在Stark对比度下，深网络忘记灾难性，而且为此原因，类增量连续学习促进方法的子字段逐步学习一系列任务，将顺序获得的知识混合成综合预测。这项工作旨在评估和克服我们以前提案黑暗体验重播（Der）的陷阱，这是一种简单有效的方法，将排练和知识蒸馏结合在一起。灵感来自于我们的思想不断重写过去的回忆和对未来的期望，我们赋予了我的能力，即我的能力来修改其重播记忆，以欢迎有关过去数据II的新信息II）为学习尚未公开的课程铺平了道路。我们表明，这些策略的应用导致了显着的改进;实际上，得到的方法 - 被称为扩展-DAR（X-DER） - 优于标准基准（如CiFar-100和MiniimAgeNet）的技术状态，并且这里引入了一个新颖的。为了更好地了解，我们进一步提供了广泛的消融研究，以证实并扩展了我们以前研究的结果（例如，在持续学习设置中知识蒸馏和漂流最小值的价值）。

Scaling object taxonomies is one of the important steps toward a robust real-world deployment of recognition systems. We have faced remarkable progress in images since the introduction of the LVIS benchmark. To continue this success in videos, a new video benchmark, TAO, was recently presented. Given the recent encouraging results from both detection and tracking communities, we are interested in marrying those two advances and building a strong large vocabulary video tracker. However, supervisions in LVIS and TAO are inherently sparse or even missing, posing two new challenges for training the large vocabulary trackers. First, no tracking supervisions are in LVIS, which leads to inconsistent learning of detection (with LVIS and TAO) and tracking (only with TAO). Second, the detection supervisions in TAO are partial, which results in catastrophic forgetting of absent LVIS categories during video fine-tuning. To resolve these challenges, we present a simple but effective learning framework that takes full advantage of all available training data to learn detection and tracking while not losing any LVIS categories to recognize. With this new learning scheme, we show that consistent improvements of various large vocabulary trackers are capable, setting strong baseline results on the challenging TAO benchmarks.

对于新应用程序，例如家庭机器人，智能手机的用户个性化以及增强/虚拟现实耳机，需要实时的持续学习持续学习。但是，此设置构成了独特的挑战：嵌入式设备的内存和计算能力有限，并且在非平稳数据流进行更新时，灾难性遗忘的常规机器学习模型会遭受损失。尽管已经开发了几种在线持续学习模型，但它们对嵌入式应用程序的有效性尚未进行严格研究。在本文中，我们首先确定在线持续学习者必须满足以有效执行实时，设备学习的标准。然后，当与移动神经网络一起使用时，我们研究了几种在线连续学习方法的功效。我们衡量他们的性能，内存使用情况，计算要求以及将其推广到分类外输入的能力。

即使在几个例子中，人类能够学会识别新物品。相比之下，培训基于深度学习的对象探测器需要大量的注释数据。为避免需求获取和注释这些大量数据，但很少拍摄的对象检测旨在从目标域中的新类别的少数对象实例中学习。在本调查中，我们在几次拍摄对象检测中概述了本领域的状态。我们根据培训方案和建筑布局分类方法。对于每种类型的方法，我们描述了一般的实现以及提高新型类别性能的概念。在适当的情况下，我们在这些概念上给出短暂的外卖，以突出最好的想法。最终，我们介绍了常用的数据集及其评估协议，并分析了报告的基准结果。因此，我们强调了评估中的共同挑战，并确定了这种新兴对象检测领域中最有前景的电流趋势。

在真实世界的环境中，可以通过对象检测器连续遇到来自新类的对象实例。当现有的对象探测器应用于这种情况时，它们在旧课程上的性能显着恶化。据报道，一些努力解决了这个限制，所有这些限制适用于知识蒸馏的变体，以避免灾难性的遗忘。我们注意到虽然蒸馏有助于保留以前的学习，但它阻碍了对新任务的快速适应性，这是增量学习的关键要求。在这种追求中，我们提出了一种学习方法，可以学习重塑模型梯度，使得跨增量任务的信息是最佳的共享。这可通过META学习梯度预处理来确保无缝信息传输，可最大限度地减少遗忘并最大化知识传输。与现有的元学习方法相比，我们的方法是任务不可知，允许将新类的增量添加到对象检测的高容量模型中。我们在Pascal-VOC和MS Coco Datasets上定义的各种增量学习设置中评估了我们的方法，我们的方法对最先进的方法进行了好评。

持续学习（CL）被广泛认为是终身AI的关键挑战。但是，现有的CLENG分类，例如置换式和拆分式剪裁，利用人工时间变化，不与现实世界一致或不一致。在本文中，我们介绍了Clear，这是第一个连续的图像分类基准数据集，其在现实世界中具有自然的视觉概念的时间演变，它跨越了十年（2004-2014）。我们通过现有的大规模图像集（YFCC100M）清楚地清楚地通过一种新颖且可扩展的低成本方法来进行粘性语言数据集策划。我们的管道利用了预处理的视觉语言模型（例如剪辑）来互动地构建标记的数据集，这些数据集通过众包进一步验证以删除错误甚至不适当的图像（隐藏在原始YFCC100M中）。在先前的CLENMACK上，明确的主要优势是具有现实世界图像的视觉概念的平滑时间演变，包括每个时间段的高质量标记数据以及丰富的未标记样本，用于连续半惯用的学习。我们发现，一个简单的无监督预训练步骤已经可以提高只能利用完全监督数据的最新CL算法。我们的分析还表明，主流CL评估方案训练和测试IID数据人为膨胀CL系统的性能。为了解决这个问题，我们为CL提出了新颖的“流”协议，该协议始终在（近）未来测试。有趣的是，流媒体协议（a）可以简化数据集策划，因为当今的测试集可以重新用于明天的火车集，并且（b）可以生成更具概括性的模型，具有更准确的性能估算，因为每个时间段的所有标记数据都用于培训和培训，并且测试（与经典的IID火车测试拆分不同）。

Despite significant advances, the performance of state-of-the-art continual learning approaches hinges on the unrealistic scenario of fully labeled data. In this paper, we tackle this challenge and propose an approach for continual semi-supervised learning -- a setting where not all the data samples are labeled. An underlying issue in this scenario is the model forgetting representations of unlabeled data and overfitting the labeled ones. We leverage the power of nearest-neighbor classifiers to non-linearly partition the feature space and learn a strong representation for the current task, as well as distill relevant information from previous tasks. We perform a thorough experimental evaluation and show that our method outperforms all the existing approaches by large margins, setting a strong state of the art on the continual semi-supervised learning paradigm. For example, on CIFAR100 we surpass several others even when using at least 30 times less supervision (0.8% vs. 25% of annotations).

Continual Learning is a step towards lifelong intelligence where models continuously learn from recently collected data without forgetting previous knowledge. Existing continual learning approaches mostly focus on image classification in the class-incremental setup with clear task boundaries and unlimited computational budget. This work explores Online Domain-Incremental Continual Segmentation~(ODICS), a real-world problem that arises in many applications, \eg, autonomous driving. In ODICS, the model is continually presented with batches of densely labeled images from different domains; computation is limited and no information about the task boundaries is available. In autonomous driving, this may correspond to the realistic scenario of training a segmentation model over time on a sequence of cities. We analyze several existing continual learning methods and show that they do not perform well in this setting despite working well in class-incremental segmentation. We propose SimCS, a parameter-free method complementary to existing ones that leverages simulated data as a continual learning regularizer. Extensive experiments show consistent improvements over different types of continual learning methods that use regularizers and even replay.

在不同的持续学习场景中可以经验经验评估模型的能力。每种情况都定义了限制和学习环境的机会。在这里，我们挑战了持续学习文学中的当前趋势，主要是在类渐进式场景上进行实验，其中一项经验中的课程从未被重新审视。我们对这种环境的过度注重可能是对持续学习的未来研究来限制，因为类增量场景人为地加剧了灾难性的遗忘，以牺牲其他重要目标等于前向传递和计算效率。在许多现实世界环境中，实际上，重复先前遇到的概念自然地发生，有助于软化对先前知识的破坏。我们倡导更深入地研究替代持续学习场景，其中重复通过传入信息流中的设计集成。从已经现有的提案开始，我们描述了这种级别的级别与重复方案的优势可以提供更全面的持续学习模型的评估。

持续深度学习的领域是一个新兴领域，已经取得了很多进步。但是，同时仅根据图像分类的任务进行了大多数方法，这在智能车辆领域无关。直到最近才提出了班级开展语义分割的方法。但是，所有这些方法都是基于某种形式的知识蒸馏。目前，尚未对基于重播的方法进行调查，这些方法通常在连续的环境中用于对象识别。同时，尽管无监督的语义分割的域适应性获得了很多吸引力，但在持续环境中有关域内收入学习的调查并未得到充分研究。因此，我们工作的目的是评估和调整已建立的解决方案，以连续对象识别语义分割任务，并为连续语义分割的任务提供基线方法和评估协议。首先，我们介绍了类和域内的分割的评估协议，并分析了选定的方法。我们表明，语义分割变化的任务的性质在减轻与图像分类相比最有效的方法中最有效。特别是，在课堂学习中，学习知识蒸馏被证明是至关重要的工具，而在域内，学习重播方法是最有效的方法。

在线持续学习是一个充满挑战的学习方案，模型必须从非平稳的数据流中学习，其中每个样本只能看到一次。主要的挑战是在避免灾难性遗忘的同时逐步学习，即在从新数据中学习时忘记先前获得的知识的问题。在这种情况下，一种流行的解决方案是使用较小的内存来保留旧数据并随着时间的推移进行排练。不幸的是，由于内存尺寸有限，随着时间的推移，内存的质量会恶化。在本文中，我们提出了OLCGM，这是一种基于新型重放的持续学习策略，该策略使用知识冷凝技术连续压缩记忆并更好地利用其有限的尺寸。样品冷凝步骤压缩了旧样品，而不是像其他重播策略那样将其删除。结果，实验表明，每当与数据的复杂性相比，每当记忆预算受到限制，OLCGM都会提高与最先进的重播策略相比的最终准确性。
