RESUMO
Aiming at the realization of learning continually from an online data stream, replay-based methods have shown superior potential. The main challenge of replay-based methods is the selection of representative samples which are stored in the buffer and replayed. In this paper, we propose the Cross-entropy Contrastive Replay (CeCR) method in the online class-incremental setting. First, we present the Class-focused Memory Retrieval method that proceeds the class-level sampling without replacement. Second, we put forward the class-mean approximation memory update method that selectively replaces the mistakenly classified training samples with samples of current input batch. In addition, the Cross-entropy Contrastive Loss is proposed to implement the model training with obtaining more solid knowledge to achieve effective learning. Experiments show that the CeCR method has comparable or improved performance in two benchmark datasets in comparison with the state-of-the-art methods.
