Research on Advanced Continual Learning Algorithms Beyond Simple Supervised Classification

Abstract

Self-supervised learning has recently emerged as a cost-efficient approach for learning representations from data, eliminating the need for laborious data labelling. Specifically, the representations learned by cross correlation-based contrastive learning algorithms, are shown to have excellent quality, comparable to those learned from supervised learning. Despite such success, huge memory and computational complexities are the apparent bottlenecks for easily maintaining and updating the self-supervised learned models, since they typically require a large-scale unsupervised data, large mini-batch sizes, and numerous gradient update steps for effective training. To that end, continual self-supervised learning (CSSL), in which the aim is to learn progressively improved representations from a sequence of unsupervised data, can be an efficient alternative to the high-cost, jointly trained self-supervised learning.
