AIR: Analytic Imbalance Rectifier for Continual Learning

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.

Decoupled and Distilled: Task-Adaptive LoRA-Teachers with Ensemble Knowledge Transfer for Few-Shot Class-Incremental Learning

The paper introduces TALON, a Task‑Adaptive LoRA‑Teacher framework for Few‑Shot Class‑Incremental Learning. TALON assigns a dedicated LoRA‑Teacher to each incremental task, then distills the frozen teachers into a single LoRA‑Student via Ensemble Knowledge Transfer, using a semantic‑guided weighting scheme to reduce forgetting and overfitting. Experiments on four FSCIL benchmarks show that TALON matches or surpasses state‑of‑the‑art accuracy while using up to 33× fewer deployment parameters and cutting inference time by 41.7%.
