DeCLIP: Decoupled Prompting for CLIP-based Multi-Label Class-Incremental Learning

DeCLIP is a replay-free, parameter-efficient framework for Multi-Label Class-Incremental Learning that decouples CLIP representations through class-specific prompting and Adaptive Similarity Tempering to effectively mitigate catastrophic forgetting and reduce false-positive rates without violating CLIP's single image-text alignment paradigm.
