In recent years, dynamically growing data and incrementally growing number of classes pose new challenges to large-scale data classification research. Most traditional methods struggle to balance the precision and computational burden when data and its number of classes increased. However, some methods are with weak pr…
Knowledge graph construction consists of two tasks: extracting information from external resources (knowledge population) and inferring missing information through a statistical analysis on the extracted information (knowledge completion). In many cases, insufficient external resources in the knowledge population hinde…
We propose a new algorithm for finite sum optimization which we call the curvature-aided incremental aggregated gradient (CIAG) method. Motivated by the problem of training a classifier for a d-dimensional problem, where the number of training data is m and m≫d≫1, the CIAG method seeks to accelerate increme…
Proposes a method to retrain neural networks incrementally for continuous data flow.
problem Continuous data flow and the challenges of catastrophic forgetting and efficient retraining.
method Incremental retraining using multi-armed bandits to select important samples and weights, and a new regularization term for synapse and neuron importance.
result Mitigates catastrophic forgetting and boosts model performance.
Incremental clustering approaches have been proposed for handling large data when given data set is too large to be stored. The key idea of these approaches is to find representatives to represent each cluster in each data chunk and final data analysis is carried out based on those identified representatives from all t…
We introduce incremental variational inference and apply it to latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA). Incremental variational inference is inspired by incremental EM and provides an alternative to stochastic variational inference. Incremental LDA can process massive document collections, does not require to set a learning …
We propose an algorithm for incremental learning of classifiers. The proposed method enables an ensemble of classifiers to learn incrementally by accommodating new training data. We use an effective mechanism to overcome the stability-plasticity dilemma. In incremental learning, the general convention is to use only th…
Data is continuously generated by modern data sources, and a recent challenge in machine learning has been to develop techniques that perform well in an incremental (streaming) setting. In this paper, we investigate the problem of private machine learning, where as common in practice, the data is not given at once, but…
In spite of remarkable success of the convolutional neural networks on semantic segmentation, they suffer from catastrophic forgetting: a significant performance drop for the already learned classes when new classes are added on the data, having no annotations for the old classes. We propose an incremental learning met…
This study presents an efficient incremental/decremental approach for big streams based on Kernel Ridge Regression (KRR), a frequently used data analysis in cloud centers. To avoid reanalyzing the whole dataset whenever sensors receive new training data, typical incremental KRR used a single-instance mechanism for upda…
Incremental versions of batch algorithms are often desired, for increased time efficiency in the streaming data setting, or increased memory efficiency in general. In this paper we present a novel algorithm for incremental kernel PCA, based on rank one updates to the eigendecomposition of the kernel matrix, which is mo…
A major open problem on the road to artificial intelligence is the development of incrementally learning systems that learn about more and more concepts over time from a stream of data. In this work, we introduce a new training strategy, iCaRL, that allows learning in such a class-incremental way: only the training dat…
A new generative classification strategy outperforms existing methods in class-incremental learning.
problem Incrementally training deep neural networks to recognize new classes is challenging.
method Proposes learning the joint distribution p(x,y) and performing classification using Bayes' rule, implemented with variational autoencoders and importance sampling.
result Performs very well on continual learning benchmarks, outperforming existing baselines.
The statistical properties of the increments x(t+T) - x(t) of a financial time series depend on the time resolution T on which the increments are considered. A non-parametric approach is used to study the scale dependence of the empirical distribution of the price increments x(t+T) - x(t) of S&P Index futures, for time…
The condition for stationary increments, not scaling, detemines long time pair autocorrelations. An incorrect assumption of stationary increments generates spurious stylized facts, fat tails and a Hurst exponent H_s=1/2, when the increments are nonstationary, as they are in FX markets. The nonstationarity arises from s…
GROUSE (Grassmannian Rank-One Update Subspace Estimation) is an incremental algorithm for identifying a subspace of Rn from a sequence of vectors in this subspace, where only a subset of components of each vector is revealed at each iteration. Recent analysis has shown that GROUSE converges locally at an expected linea…
