Abstract

Most existing artificial neural networks(ANNs) fail to learn continually due to catastrophic forgetting, while humans can do the same by maintaining previous tasks' performances. Although storing all the previous data can alleviate the problem, it takes a large memory, infeasible in real-world utilization. We propose a continual zero-shot learning model(A-CZSL) that is more suitable in real-case scenarios to address the issue that can learn sequentially and distinguish classes the model has not seen during training. Further, to enhance the reliability, we develop A -CZSL for a single head continual learning setting where task identity is revealed during the training process but not during the testing. We present a hybrid network that consists of a shared VAE module to hold information of all tasks and task-specific private VAE modules for each task. The model's size grows with each task to prevent catastrophic forgetting of task-specific skills, and it includes a replay approach to preserve shared skills. We demonstrate our hybrid model outperforms the baselines and is effective on several datasets, i.e., CUB, AWA1, AWA2, and aPY. We show our method is superior in class sequentially learning with ZSL(Zero-Shot Learning) and GZSL(Generalized Zero-Shot Learning). The code url is available at the arxiv paper. © 2021 IEEE.
