Deep learning models continue to scale, with some requiring more storage than many large-scale datasets. Thus, we introduce a new paradigm: Continual Distillation (CD), where a student learns sequentially from a stream of teacher models without retaining access to earlier teachers. CD faces two chal
Exemplar-Free Continual Learning (EFCL) restricts the storage of previous task data and is highly susceptible to catastrophic forgetting. While pre-trained models (PTMs) are increasingly leveraged for EFCL, existing methods often overlook the inherent imbalance of real-world data distributions. We d
Class-Incremental Learning (CIL) aims to learn new classes sequentially while retaining the knowledge of previously learned classes. Recently, pre-trained models (PTMs) combined with parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) have shown remarkable performance in rehearsal-free CIL without requiring exem…
Class-Incremental Learning (CIL) trains a model to continually recognize new classes from non-stationary data while retaining learned knowledge. A major challenge of CIL arises when applying to real-world data characterized by non-uniform distribution which introduces a dual imbalance problem involv…
This paper explores the possibility of extending the capability of pre-trained neural image compressors (e.g. adapting to new data or target bitrates) without breaking backward compatibility the ability to decode bitstreams encoded by the original model. We refer to this problem as continual learnin…
Modern deep learning approaches have achieved great success in many vision applications by training a model using all available task-specific data. However, there are two major obstacles making it challenging to implement for real life applications: (1) Learning new classes makes the trained model q…
