What Must Replay Preserve? Separating Correctable Bias from Class Correspondence

Excerpt

arXiv:2610.07077v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Class-incremental learning must recognize all classes seen so far without task labels. Logit replay methods such as DER and DER++ mitigate forgetting by matching the model's past predictions on stored examples. Deleting this matching reveals its benefit, but the resulting accuracy cost cannot show whether the stored scores themselves are needed, or whether the cost survives correction of the classifier's bias toward recent classes. We propose a dia
