The paper introduces AIR, an analytic imbalance rectifier designed for continual learning scenarios where data streams are evolving and imbalanced. AIR operates without exemplars, using a frozen backbone for feature extraction and a closed‑form incremental classifier that incorporates a class‑weighted ridge objective. It employs an analytic reweighting module to equalize sample weights across classes, achieving significant improvements in accuracy and macro F1 over 28 baseline methods in long‑tailed class‑incremental learning and over 15 baselines in the Si‑Blurry setting with recurring classes.

SPARCL introduces a spectral partitioned analytic continual learning method that addresses forgetting in analytic class‑incremental learning. By decomposing the running autocorrelation into a high‑energy core and a residual complement, SPARCL freezes core components for old classes and updates only the residual block, ensuring closed‑form updates with an invariance guarantee. Experiments on CIFAR‑100, CUB‑200, ImageNet‑R, and ImageNet‑A with a frozen ViT‑B/16 protocol show that SPARCL narrows the performance gap between classical analytic learners and strong representation matchers while complementing sparse feature‑decorrelation approaches.
