Parameter isolation with domain-specific experts for incremental audio classification

The paper introduces a domain‑specific parameter‑isolation architecture for domain‑incremental learning (DIL) in audio classification, aiming to preserve knowledge from earlier domains without accessing their data. By employing data‑free generative replay and cross‑domain feature generation, the method constructs new experts conditioned on all previously frozen models, thereby mitigating catastrophic forgetting. Applied to the DCASE 2026 Challenge Task 7, the approach achieves micro and macro accuracies of 78.4 % and 78.9 %, outperforming the baseline by 33 and 25 percentage points, respectively, with ablation studies confirming the contribution of each component.
