What's New
Supports Unstructured Lifelong Learning
The new unstructured lifelong learning feature try to improve the efficiency and reduce cost of high-value data collection, in many scenarios like robot, factory, etc.. Those scenarios usually require a lot of unstructured image data to be processed, and will also face various corner cases. For example, robots need to process image data from cameras for perception, they may encounter different curb on different roads while the class of curb already exists at training phase , or a different new class like flower bed. If these classes are not recognized correctly, the robot will wrestle and even cause environmental damage.
Therefore, this version of unstructured lifelong learning supports the following functions to solve the preceding problems:
- Supports unstructured lifelong learning: implement closed-loop data of unstructured data, and provides robot delivery example demo vedio and code based on image segmentation.
- Supports unseen task recognition.
- Supports early warning of unseen task: For example, robots can stop in time when encountering image samples that cannot be processed by models for manual intervention or other optional measures.
- Supports High-value data filtering: Only inference samples those cannot be inferenced correctly by models are considered high-value data, and will be collected then used for model training and update.
- Supports displaying knowledge base: Displays knowledge base information to users, including the number of unseen samples (or high-value samples) and the corresponding number of trained models.

Sedna v0.5.0 release
What's New
Add the Multi-Edge Inference Paradigm
The new Multi Edge Inference feature introduces a new mode of collaboration to manage distributed AI applications to combine computing power of edge nodes and fully utilize resources of edge nodes.
- Provide feature extraction-based collaborative inference to protect privacy of data on the edge.
- Filters data to reduce the amount of data transmitted from the edge.
- Message-oriented middleware is introduced to support asynchronous message communication between multi-edge AI application components.

Incremental learning supports heterogeneous chips
The chips of the training, evaluation, and inference worker nodes in incremental learning are different, and it causes that AI models of the same version cannot be used in a unified manner. Therefore, models need to be converted based on the special chip version.
When this feature is imported to Incremental Learning, users do not need to manually convert different models. Instead, users can configure the chip version corresponding to the model when creating an application. In this way, models can be adaptively converted on different nodes.
By @JimmyYang20 in #315
Lifelong learning supports multi-node deployment
Sedna 0.4 supports the lifelong learning application of the single-node version. It need that the dataset and the node name of the training, evaluation, and inference worker must be the same.
However, this method has certain limitations in the following scenarios:
- Training workers require more resources than evaluation workers and inference workers. In some cases, computing resources cannot meet requirements, and they need to be scheduled on different nodes.
- In some scenarios, you need to manually specify that training, evaluation, and inference work on a specific node. For example, both of them work on an edge node.
Therefore, the new feature enables the training, evaluation, and inference workers of lifelong learning to support the configuration of different nodeNames and nodeSelectors, allowing users to flexibly specify running nodes when creating workers.
By @JimmyYang20 in #287
Sedna supports Helm deployment
Sedna helm charts are introduced, including helm charts of sedna-gm, sedna-lc, and sedna-kb. Users can install required components on demand. You can also customize or modify the sedna helm charts application template based on helm rules. In addition, users can upload sedna helm charts to various cloud-native app markets to deploy the entire sedna environment in a simpler and more convenient manner.

Sedna v0.3.0 release
Lifelong learning
- Support edge-cloud synergy lifelong learning feature:
- leverages the cloud knowledge base which empowers the scheme with memory ability, which helps to continuously learn and accumulate historical knowledge to overcome the catastrophic forgetting challenge.
- is essentially the combination of another two learning schemes, i.e., multi-task learning and incremental learning, so that it can learn unseen tasks with shared knowledge among various scenarios over time.
- Add lifelong learning example.
Lib refactor
- By using a registration of class-factory functions to emulate virtual constructors, developers can invoke different components by change variables in the Config file.
- Clean up and redesign the base Config class, each feature maintains it's specific variables, and ensures that developers can be manually updated the variables.
- Decouple the ML framework from the features of sedna, allows developers to choose their favorite framework.
- Add a common file operation and a unified log-format in common module, use an abstract base class to standardize the feature modules' interface, and features are invoked by inheriting the base class.
