Augmented Class

Augmented Class Learning (ACL) addresses the challenge of machine learning models encountering previously unseen classes during testing, a common occurrence in real-world applications. Current research focuses on developing unbiased risk estimators, often incorporating unlabeled data to estimate the distribution of these new classes and adapting existing loss functions for robust performance. These methods aim to improve the generalization ability of classifiers trained on limited labeled data, thereby enhancing the reliability and adaptability of machine learning systems in dynamic environments. The impact of this research lies in creating more robust and practical machine learning solutions for various domains where new classes are expected to emerge over time.
