You look from old classes: Towards accurate few shot class-incremental learning

Journal Article Pattern Recognition · April 1, 2026 Few-shot class incremental learning (FSCIL) is a common but difficult task that faces two challenges: catastrophic forgetting of old classes and insufficient learning of new classes with limited samples. Recent wisdom focuses on preventing catastrophic for ... Full text Cite

IDEA: Image description enhanced CLIP-adapter for image classification

Journal Article Pattern Recognition · March 1, 2026 CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training) has attained great success in pattern recognition and computer vision. Transferring CLIP to downstream tasks (e.g., zero- or few-shot classification) is a hot topic in multimodal learning. However, current stu ... Full text Cite

Point2pix-Zero: Point-driven refined diffusion for multi-object image editing

Journal Article Pattern Recognition · February 1, 2026 Semantic image editing methods employing large-scale diffusion models have made significant strides in precise and controlled image editing with text prompts as guidance. However, these models struggle to handle complex images containing hard-described obj ... Full text Cite
