The paper proposes Data-Free Class Incremental Learning (DFCIL), a method for machine learning models to learn new classes while retraining knowledge of old classes without requiring additional training data. The study focuses on skeleton-based gesture classification, which has significant real-world implications in virtual and augmented reality applications where gestures serve as the primary means of control and interaction. The authors find that skeleton models trained with base classes demonstrate strong generalization capabilities to unseen classes, even with limited training data. Building on this insight, they develop Synthetic Feature Replay (SFR), a method that samples synthetic features from class prototypes to replay for old classes and augment for new classes. The proposed SFR method achieves significant advancements over the state-of-the-art, showcasing up to 15% enhancements in mean accuracy across all steps.

This paper explores how machine learning models can learn new things without needing more training data. They look at a specific problem where computers need to recognize different gestures, like waving or pointing, which is important for virtual and augmented reality applications. The researchers found that even if the computer only has limited information about some of the gestures, it can still recognize others. To make this work, they developed a new method called Synthetic Feature Replay (SFR) that helps the computer learn from old data to recognize new things. This improved way of learning allows computers to get better at recognizing gestures without needing more training data.
