The proposed MOdel Surgery (MOS) addresses catastrophic forgetting in Class-Incremental Learning by introducing task-specific adapters and a training-free self-refined adapter retrieval mechanism. By continually adjusting the pre-trained model to downstream tasks, MOS mitigates parameter-level forgetting through an adapter merging approach that learns task-specific information. During inference, the self-refined retrieval mechanism leverages the model’s inherent ability for better adapter selection. Experimental results on seven benchmark datasets demonstrate MOS’s state-of-the-art performance.

MOdel Surgery is a new way to help artificial intelligence models remember what they learned earlier when they’re learning something new. This problem is called “catastrophic forgetting.” To solve it, the researchers created special helpers for the model that allow it to adapt to new tasks without forgetting old ones. They also came up with a way to use the model’s own abilities to pick the right helper during testing. The results show that this approach works really well on many different datasets.
