Live Interactive Training for Video Segmentation

Interactive video segmentation often requires many user interventions for robust performance in challenging scenarios (e.g., occlusions, object separations, camouflage, etc.).Yet, even state-of-the-art models like SAM2 use corrections only for immediate fixes without *learning* from this feedback, leading to inefficient, repetitive user effort. To address this, we introduce Live Interactive Training (LIT), a novel framework for prompt-based visual systems where models also learn online from human corrections at inference time. Our primary instantiation, LIT-LoRA, implements this by continually updating a lightweight LoRA module on-the-fly. When a user provides a correction, this module is rapidly trained on that feedback, allowing the vision system to improve performance on subsequent frames of the same video.Leveraging the core principles of LIT, our LIT-LoRA implementation achieves an average 18-34\% reduction in total corrections on challenging video segmentation benchmarks, with a negligible training overhead of $\sim$0.5s per correction. We further demonstrate its generality by successfully adapting it to other segmentation models and extending it to CLIP-based fine-grained image classification. Our work highlights the promise of live adaptation to transform interactive tools and significantly reduce redundant human effort in complex visual tasks.
