Class-incremental semantic image segmentation assumes multiple model updates, each enriching the model to segment new categories.

This is typically carried out by providing expensive pixel-level annotations to the training algorithm for all new objects

… image-level labels offer an attractive alternative, yet, such coarse annotations lack precise information about the location and boundary of the new objects.

… argue that, since classes represent not just indices but semantic entities, the conceptual relationships between them can provide valuable information that should be leveraged.

… propose a weakly supervised approach that exploits such semantic relations to transfer objectness prior from the previously learned classes into the new ones, complementing the supervisory signal from image-level labels.

… show how even a simple pairwise interaction between classes can significantly improve the segmentation mask quality of both old and new classes.
