Abstract:Incremental learning is one of the research hotspots in machine learning. In this paper, we view the complex changes of data as three changes that are the change of sample, the change of class and the change of feature, and analyze the popular machine learning classification algorithms which support incremental learning. And then we focus on reviewing the research of three types of incremental learning: Sample Incremental Learning, Class Incremental Learning and Feature Incremental Learning. Finally, we make a prospect on the focus and difficulty of future research of incremental learning.
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.
