Temporal Imbalance of Positive and Negative Supervision in Class-Incremental Learning

Researchers at arXiv have identified temporal imbalance as a key factor causing catastrophic forgetting in Class-Incremental Learning (CIL) systems. They propose Temporal-Adjusted Loss (TAL), a new method that uses temporal decay kernels to reweight negative supervision, demonstrating significant improvements in reducing forgetting across multiple CIL benchmarks.
