MedCRP-CL: Continual Medical Image Segmentation via Bayesian Nonparametric Semantic Modality Discovery

arXiv:2605.20297v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Medical image segmentation faces a fundamental challenge in continual learning: data arrives sequentially from heterogeneous sources, yet effective continual learning requires discovering which tasks share sufficient structure to benefit from joint learning. Existing methods either apply uniform constraints across all tasks, causing catastrophic forgetting when tasks conflict, or require predefined task groupings that cannot anticipate future task diversity. We introduce MedCRP-CL, a framework that performs online task structure discovery and s
The problem of catastrophic forgetting in continual learning is a major bottleneck for real-world AI deployment, and this paper presents a novel approach to tackle it in a critical domain.
Improving continual learning for medical image segmentation allows AI systems to adapt to new data without retraining from scratch, crucial for healthcare's dynamic, data-rich environment.
This framework shifts from predefined task groupings to online, adaptive task structure discovery, potentially leading to more robust and flexible medical AI applications.
