arXiv:2606. 15695v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Federated class-incremental learning (FCIL) becomes substantially harder when clients observe different label subsets, progress through tasks at different stages, and provide uneven supervision for the same semantic concepts.
arXiv:2601. 19788v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Federated Continual Learning (FCL) leverages inter-client collaboration to better balance new knowledge acquisition and old knowledge retention on non-stationary data.
SCLATE is a new execution substrate that allows continual‑learning benchmarks and agents to share a single event scheduler via adapters, enabling tasks, session events, and memory consolidation to run on a compressed, real‑time timeline. It also functions as a rollout engine that records every model call’s tokens and log probabilities without modifying the agent’s harness or memory. Using SCLATE, the authors ported seven benchmarks, compared ten harness‑memory configurations across ten models, and demonstrated that post‑training Qwen3.5‑4B can effectively leverage both harness and memory, improving performance on multiple metrics.
arXiv:2607. 19384v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Real-world intelligent systems often require both distributed collaboration across data-isolated clients and continual adaptation to evolving tasks.
arXiv:2411. 16073v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Inspired by the Well-initialized Lottery Ticket Hypothesis (WLTH), we introduce Soft-TransFormers (Soft-TF), a continual learning framework that adapts a frozen pre-trained Transformer through task-specific soft subnetworks: real-valued multiplicative masks over the query, key, value, and output projections of selected self-attention layers.

The paper addresses the mismatch between learner and client data distributions in federated learning, noting that traditional client selection methods often ignore this misalignment. It introduces a dynamic, influence-aware client selection framework that uses a small proxy dataset to estimate each client's utility for the learner’s objective, prioritizing informative sources while mitigating noise and heterogeneity. Experiments on CIFAR-10 with heterogeneous partitions show the proposed method outperforms static and dynamic baselines, achieving faster convergence and higher accuracy.
The paper introduces TALON, a Task‑Adaptive LoRA‑Teacher framework for Few‑Shot Class‑Incremental Learning. TALON assigns a dedicated LoRA‑Teacher to each incremental task, then distills the frozen teachers into a single LoRA‑Student via Ensemble Knowledge Transfer, using a semantic‑guided weighting scheme to reduce forgetting and overfitting. Experiments on four FSCIL benchmarks show that TALON matches or surpasses state‑of‑the‑art accuracy while using up to 33× fewer deployment parameters and cutting inference time by 41.7%.
