It is more suitable than zero-shot and continual learning approaches in real-case scenarios when data may come continually with only attributes for a few classes and attributes and features for other classes. Continual learning(CL) suffers from catastrophic forgetting, and zero-shot learning(ZSL) models cannot classify objects like state-of-the-art supervised classifiers due to lack of actual data(or features) during training. This paper proposes a novel continual zero-shot learning (DVGR-CZSL) model that grows in size with each task and uses generative replay to update itself with previously learned classes to avoid forgetting. We demonstrate our hybrid model(DVGR-CZSL) outperforms the baselines and is effective on several datasets, i.e., CUB, AWA1, AWA2, and aPY. We show our method is superior in task sequentially learning with ZSL(Zero-Shot Learning). We also discuss our results on the SUN dataset.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.12468v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2104.12468v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"dynamic-vaes-with-generative-replay-for","repo_url":"https://github.com/DVGR-CZSL/DVGR-CZSL","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"continual-learning","task_name":"Continual Learning"},{"task_slug":"zero-shot-learning","task_name":"Zero-Shot Learning"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=2104.12468","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
