Continual learning aims to continuously learn new tasks from new data while retaining the knowledge of tasks learned in the past. Recently, the Vision Transformer, which utilizes the Transformer initially proposed in natural language processing for computer vision, has shown higher accuracy than Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) in image recognition tasks. However, there are few methods that have achieved continual learning with Vision Transformer. In this paper, we compare and improve continual learning methods that can be applied to both CNN and Vision Transformers. In our experiments, we compare several continual learning methods and their combinations to show the differences in accuracy and the number of parameters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
