9. Dataset details

Corresponding to the definition of our new increment-alinstance learning (IIL) task, we reorganize the public dataset Cifar-100 [11] and ImageNet-100 [24] to establish the benchmark in this research topic.

As can be seen, the base dataset has a more balance sample distribution, where the largest class is class 6 with 279 images. The smallest class is class 29 and has 215 images. Incremental dataset “D5” has the most imbalance number of samples between classes, where the maximum number is 40 in class 58 and the minimum number is 12 in class 76. That is, the highest imbalance ratio is 3.33 : 1.
