提出多模态持续学习框架,解决跨模态遗忘问题。
Continual Learning for Multiple Modalities
- 通过文本对齐多模态,自调节表征以融合新知识
- 在多种数据集上显著优于现有方法,无论是否已知模态类型
- 适合需要长期学习多源信息的智能系统
持续学习旨在顺序地学习任务知识,同时避免先前知识的遗忘。现有方法主要针对单一模态(如图像)设计,限制了其在多模态场景中的应用。本文提出一种新型持续学习框架,支持图像、视频、音频、深度和文本等多种模态。通过利用文本丰富的语义信息,将各模态与文本对齐,但这也加剧了知识遗忘风险,尤其因任务间输入特性差异所致。为此,我们提出一种框架,在巩固模内知识的同时,引入相关模间信息。通过自调节表征变化,逐步将新知识融入各模态保留的信息中;同时,基于模态间的互相关性,选择性整合历史模态知识,减轻模态间干扰。此外,引入重对齐策略,有效缓解模态嵌入间的偏差对齐问题。在多个包含不同模态的数据集上进行广泛实验,结果表明,该方法在各种持续学习场景中均显著优于现有方法,且无需事先知晓模态身份。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Continual learning aims to learn knowledge of tasks observed in sequential time steps while mitigating the forgetting of previously learned knowledge. Existing methods were designed to learn a single modality (e.g., image) over time, which limits their applicability in scenarios involving multiple modalities. In this work, we propose a novel continual learning framework that accommodates multiple modalities (image, video, audio, depth, and text). We train a model to align various modalities with text, leveraging its rich semantic information. However, this increases the risk of forgetting previously learned knowledge, exacerbated by the differing input traits across tasks. To alleviate the overwriting of previous knowledge of modalities, we propose a framework that consolidates intra-modal knowledge while incorporating relevant inter-modal information. This is achieved by self-regulating shifts in learned representations to gradually integrating novel knowledge into the information retained across modalities. Simultaneously, it mitigates inter-modal interference by selectively integrating knowledge from previously encountered modalities based on their mutual relevance. Furthermore, we introduce a strategy to re-align modality embeddings, effectively addressing biased alignment between modalities. We evaluate the proposed method in a wide range of continual learning scenarios using multiple datasets with different modalities. Extensive experiments demonstrate that ours outperforms existing methods in the scenarios, regardless of whether the identity of the modality is given.
