Moreover, we employ an unsupervised latent exploration algorithm in the $\mathcal{S}$-space of the generator and show that it is more efficient than the conventional $\mathcal{W}^{+}$-space in controlling the image content.

Second, in contrast to previous works which employ one discriminator that overfits the target domain semantic distribution, we employ a discriminator for the whole image and multiscale discriminators on the image patches.

Our contribution is three-fold: (1) we design a standalone lightweight generator with (2) class-wise heads (3) to generate and replay diverse instance-level base features to the RoI head while finetuning on the novel data.

We make the observation that the large gap in performance between two-stage and one-stage FSODs are mainly due to their weak discriminability, which is explained by a small post-fusion receptive field and a small number of foreground samples in the loss function.

In this work, we propose a constraint-based finetuning approach (CFA) to alleviate catastrophic forgetting, while achieving competitive results on the novel task without increasing the model capacity.

First, we leverage a meta-training paradigm, where we learn the domain shift on the base classes, then transfer the domain knowledge to the novel classes.
