Remembering by Reconstructing: Domain Incremental Learning With Test-Time Training on Video Streams 文章

arXiv:2605.31108v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this work we introduce a novel approach to domain incremental learning, adapting models over time to evolving, non-stationary data. In contrast to other works, we do not attempt to avoid catastrophic forgetting, but rather allow it and exploit it. Our model combines a main task head with a self-supervised masked autoencoder (MAE) head. We then learn domain-specific LoRA adapters during incremental training. Each adapter specializes to its domain, naturally inducing forgetting on other domains in both heads. At inference, we perform online test-time training on the self-supervised MAE head to identify which LoRAs best matches the current input, so the model can `remember' the domain again. Our scheme is especially well-suited to real-world streaming data, such as video, where consecutive samples are highly correlated and domain shifts are gradual.
