Task-agnostic Continual Hippocampus Segmentation for Smooth Population Shifts
share
Most continual learning methods are validated in settings where task boundaries are clearly defined and task identity information is available during training and testing. We explore how such methods perform in a task-agnostic setting that more closely resembles dynamic clinical environments with gradual population shifts. We propose ODEx, a holistic solution that combines out-of-distribution detection with continual learning techniques. Validation on two scenarios of hippocampus segmentation shows that our proposed method reliably maintains performance on earlier tasks without losing plasticity.
