ABSTRACT
This paper considers the problem of fine-grained image recognition with a growing vocabulary. Since in many real world applications we often have to add a new object category or visual concept with just a few images to learn from, it is crucial to develop a method that is able to generalize the recognition model from existing classes to new classes. Deep convolutional neural networks are capable of constructing powerful image representations; however, these networks usually rely on a logistic loss function that cannot handle the incremental learning problem. In this paper, we present a new method that can efficiently learn a new class given only a limited number of training examples, which we evaluate on the problems of food and clothing recognition. To illustrate the performance of our proposed method on the task of recognizing different kinds of food, when using only 1.3\% of training examples per category we achieved about 73\% of the performance (as measured by F1-score) compared to when using all available training data.
