CD^2: Constrained Dataset Distillation for Few-Shot Class-Incremental Learning

- 用生成式数据压缩技术保留关键类别特征
- 通过约束损失提升旧类知识保存能力
- 适合需要持续学习且样本稀缺的场景
少样本增量学习(FSCIL)因能在少量样本下持续分类而受到广泛关注,但面临严重的灾难性遗忘问题。现有方法通常使用外部记忆存储旧知识,并对增量类别同等处理,难以有效保留关键信息。受近期知识蒸馏工作的启发,本文提出约束型数据蒸馏框架(CD²),包含数据蒸馏模块(DDM)和蒸馏约束模块(DCM)。DDM 在分类器引导下生成高度浓缩的合成样本,使模型从少量增量样本中学习紧凑的本质类别线索;DCM 引入设计损失以约束先前学习的类别分布,更充分地保留蒸馏后的知识。在三个公开数据集上的大量实验表明,该方法优于现有最先进方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Few-shot class-incremental learning (FSCIL) receives significant attention from the public to perform classification continuously with a few training samples, which suffers from the key catastrophic forgetting problem. Existing methods usually employ an external memory to store previous knowledge and treat it with incremental classes equally, which cannot properly preserve previous essential knowledge. To solve this problem and inspired by recent distillation works on knowledge transfer, we propose a framework termed \textbf{C}onstrained \textbf{D}ataset \textbf{D}istillation (\textbf{CD$^2$}) to facilitate FSCIL, which includes a dataset distillation module (\textbf{DDM}) and a distillation constraint module~(\textbf{DCM}). Specifically, the DDM synthesizes highly condensed samples guided by the classifier, forcing the model to learn compacted essential class-related clues from a few incremental samples. The DCM introduces a designed loss to constrain the previously learned class distribution, which can preserve distilled knowledge more sufficiently. Extensive experiments on three public datasets show the superiority of our method against other state-of-the-art competitors.
