PILOT: A Data-Free Continual Learning Approach for Real-Time Semantic Segmentation via Boundary Guidance

arXiv:2605.27128v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Real-time semantic segmentation models offer an excellent balance between accuracy and inference speed. However, deploying these models in dynamic real world environments often requires the ability to learn novel classes incrementally without retraining on the entire dataset. This capability is known as continual learning. In this regard, the standard fine-tuning methods in deep learning often fail due to catastrophic forgetting, where the model learns new information but forgets previously trained and learned classes. Contributing to this cruc
The continuous evolution of real-world environments necessitates AI models that can adapt and learn incrementally without losing prior knowledge, addressing the critical issue of catastrophic forgetting in continual learning.
This development is crucial for deploying robust and adaptable AI systems in dynamic settings, as it enables models to efficiently integrate new information without requiring extensive retraining on entire datasets.
AI models for semantic segmentation can now learn new classes in real-time environments more efficiently, reducing the need for costly and time-consuming full model retraining.
