Zero-shot Generalizable Incremental Learning for Vision-Language Object Detection

Loss and reparameterization techniques to tackle IVLOD without incurring a significant increase in memory usage. Comprehensive experiments on COCO and ODinW-13 datasets demonstrate that ZiRa effectively safeguards the zero-shot generalization ability of VLODMs while continuously adapting to new tasks. Specifically, after training on ODinW-13 datasets, ZiRa exhibits superior performance compared to CL-DETR and iDETR, boosting zero-shot generalizabil-ity by substantial 13.91 and 8.74 AP, respectively.
