Abstract (arXiv)

Class-Incremental Learning (CIL) aims to continuously learn new classes without forgetting previously acquired knowledge. Parameter-efficient fine-tuning with pre-trained models reduces parameter overhead but can suffer from cumulative interference and suboptimal alignment between inference samples and specialized modules. We propose Dynamic LoRA-Experts and Prototype-Ensemble Matching (DLEPEM), a two-stage rehearsal-free framework. DLEPEM allocates a task-specific LoRA-Expert for each incremental task to reduce cross-task interference, then combines frozen pre-trained-model prototypes with task-adaptive LoRA-Expert prototypes for reliable task-level discrimination. Experiments on standard CIL and Few-Shot CIL benchmarks demonstrate strong performance under the evaluated protocols.
