    In this paper, a progressive learning algorithm for multi-label classification to learn new labels while retaining the knowledge of previous labels is designed. New output neurons corresponding to new labels are added and the neural network connections and parameters are automatically restructured as if the label has been introduced from the beginning. This work is the first of the kind in multi-label classifier for class-incremental learning. It is useful for real-world applications such as robotics where streaming data are available and the number of labels is often unknown. Based on the Extreme Learning Machine framework, a novel universal classifier with plug and play capabilities for progressive multi-label classification is developed. Experimental results on various benchmark synthetic and real datasets validate the efficiency and effectiveness of our proposed algorithm.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, 4 table

    [Abstract] Deep Learning approaches have brought solutions, with impressive performance, to general classification problems where wealthy of annotated data are provided for training. In contrast, less progress has been made in continual learning of a set of non-stationary classes, mainly when applied to unsupervised problems with streaming data. Here, we propose a novel incremental learning approach which combines a deep features encoder with an Open-Set Dynamic Ensembles of SVM, to tackle the problem of identifying individuals of interest (IoI) from streaming face data. From a simple weak classifier trained on a few video-frames, our method can use unsupervised operational data to enhance recognition. Our approach adapts to new patterns avoiding catastrophic forgetting and partially heals itself from miss-adaptation. Besides, to better comply with real world conditions, the system was designed to operate in an open-set setting. Results show a benefit of up to 15% F1-score increase respect to non-adaptive state-of-the-art methods.This work has received financial support from the Spanish government (project PID2020-119367RB-I00); from the Xunta de Galicia, Consellaría de Cultura, Educación e Ordenación Universitaria (accreditations 2019-2022 ED431G-2019/04 and ED431G 2019/01, and reference competitive groups 2021-2024 ED431C 2021/48 and ED431C 2021/30), and from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
