Prototype Aggregation

Prototype aggregation is a machine learning technique focusing on representing data classes using prototypes—summarized feature vectors—to improve classification accuracy and model interpretability. Current research emphasizes developing algorithms that dynamically generate and refine these prototypes, often within contrastive learning frameworks, to address challenges like catastrophic forgetting in incremental learning and domain adaptation. This approach is proving valuable in various applications, including few-shot learning, open-set recognition, and improving the robustness and explainability of deep learning models.
