CILF learns adaptive embeddings for class-incremental learning with novel class detection and model update.
problem Handling unknown classes and model update in streaming data with new classes.
method CILF uses decoupled prototype based loss for intra-class and inter-class structure improvement, and a learnable curriculum clustering operator for adaptive embedding.
result CILF effectively detects multiple novel classes and mitigates embedding confusion, while updating the model without catastrophic forgetting.
