Focus, Align, and Sustain: Counteracting Gradient Dilution in Incremental Object Detection

ICML 2026poster

Adapting Detection Transformers to Incremental Object Detection (IOD) poses a systemic challenge, as set-based optimization is inherently destabilized by sequential learning. In this work, we identify Gradient Dilution as the root cause of performance degradation, wherein optimization signals requir…

DCA: Dividing and Conquering Amnesia in Incremental Object Detection

AAAI 2025technical

Incremental object detection (IOD) aims to cultivate an object detector that can continuously localize and recognize novel classes while preserving its performance on previous classes. Existing methods achieve certain success by improving knowledge distillation and exemplar replay for transformer-ba…

Specifying What You Know or Not for Multi-Label Class-Incremental Learning

AAAI 2025technical

Existing class incremental learning is mainly designed for single-label classification task, which is ill-equipped for multi-label scenarios due to the inherent contradiction of learning objectives for samples with incomplete labels. We argue that the main challenge to overcome this contradiction in…

One-Shot Replay: Boosting Incremental Object Detection via Retrospecting One Object

AAAI 2023technical

Modern object detectors are ill-equipped to incrementally learn new emerging object classes over time due to the well-known phenomenon of catastrophic forgetting. Due to data privacy or limited storage, few or no images of the old data can be stored for replay. In this paper, we design a novel One-S…
