C-LoRA: Continual Low-Rank Adaptation for Pre-trained Visual Models

C-LoRA introduces a continual learning approach for pre‑trained visual models that uses a single shared Low‑Rank Adaptation (LoRA) adapter. It employs a learnable routing matrix split into a stability component (R_base) and a plasticity component (R_delta) to balance preserving past knowledge and adapting to new tasks. This design eliminates the need for expanding modules or complex inference fusion while maintaining competitive performance on multiple benchmarks.

KeepLoRA++: Continual Learning with Layer-Scaled Residual Gradient Adaptation

arXiv:2606. 16256v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Continual learning for pre-trained vision-language models requires balancing three competing objectives: retaining pre-trained knowledge, preserving knowledge from a sequence of learned tasks, and maintaining the plasticity to acquire new knowledge.
