The paper investigates the challenge of learning with neural networks from a continuous stream of visual information, leveraging the opportunities offered by non-i.i.d. data to develop representations consistent with the information flow. Specifically, it focuses on unsupervised continual learning of pixel-wise features subject to multiple motion-induced constraints, introducing a self-supervised contrastive loss to counteract trivial solutions. The model is assessed on photorealistic synthetic streams and real-world videos, outperforming pre-trained state-of-the-art feature extractors (Transformers) and recent unsupervised learning models.

This paper explores how neural networks can learn from a continuous stream of visual information. It’s like teaching an AI to recognize patterns in a video game or a movie. The researchers are trying to find ways for the AI to adapt to changing scenes without needing to be retrained each time. They’re using something called “motion flows” to help the AI understand how things move around in the scene. This is different from previous approaches, where motion was assumed to be known beforehand. The new approach uses neural networks to estimate multiple levels of motion flows and representations. To make sure this doesn’t just result in random answers, the researchers introduce a special type of loss function that encourages the AI to learn meaningful patterns. They test their model on simulated and real-world videos, showing it outperforms other state-of-the-art models.
