Lifelong Learning with Dynamic Convolutions for Glioma Segmentation from Multi-Modal MRI

This paper presents a novel solution for catastrophic forgetting in lifelong learning (LL) using Dynamic Convolution Neural Network (Dy-CNN). The proposed dynamic convolution layer can adapt convolution filters by learning kernel coefficients or weights based on the input image. The suitability of the proposed Dy-CNN in a lifelong sequential learning-based scenario with multi-modal MR images is experimentally demonstrated for the segmentation of Glioma tumors from multi-modal MR images. Experimental results demonstrated the superiority of the Dy-CNN-based segmenting network in terms of learning through multi-modal MRI images and better convergence of lifelong learning-based training.
