An integrated classification model for incremental learning.

Incremental Learning is a particular form of machine learning that enables a model to be modified incrementally, when new data becomes available. In this way, the model can adapt to the new data without the lengthy and time-consuming process required for complete model re-training. However, existing incremental learning methods face two significant problems: 1) noise in the classification sample data, 2) poor accuracy of modern classification algorithms when applied to modern classification problems. In order to deal with these issues, this paper proposes an integrated classification model, known as a Pre-trained Truncated Gradient Confidence-weighted (Pt-TGCW) model. Since the pre-trained model can extract and transform image information into a feature vector, the integrated model also shows its advantages in the field of image classification. Experimental results on ten datasets demonstrate that the proposed method outperform the original counterparts.
