| contents | Class-incremental learning is dedicated to the development of deep learning models that are capable of acquiring new knowledge while retaining previously learned information. Most methods focus on balanced data distribution for each task, overlooking real-world long-tailed distributions. Therefore, Long-Tailed Class-Incremental Learning has been introduced, which trains on data where head classes have more samples than tail classes. Existing methods mainly focus on preserving representative samples from previous classes to combat catastrophic forgetting. Recently, dynamic network algorithms freeze old network structures and expand new ones, achieving significant performance. However, with the introduction of the long-tail problem, merely extending Determined blocks can lead to miscalibrated predictions, while expanding the entire backbone results in an explosion of memory size. To address these issues, we introduce a novel Task-aware Expandable (TaE) framework, dynamically allocating and updating task-specific trainable parameters to learn diverse representations from each incremental task while resisting forgetting through the majority of frozen model parameters. To further encourage the class-specific feature representation, we develop a Centroid-Enhanced (CEd) method to guide the update of these task-aware parameters. This approach is designed to adaptively allocate feature space for every class by adjusting the distance between intra- and inter-class features, which can extend to all "training from sketch" algorithms. Extensive experiments demonstrate that TaE achieves state-of-the-art performance. |
