arXiv:2603. 12658v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Continual learning (CL) has emerged as a pivotal paradigm to enable large language models (LLMs) to dynamically adapt to evolving knowledge and sequential tasks while mitigating catastrophic forgetting, a critical limitation of the static pre-training paradigm inherent to modern LLMs.
CRAFT is a continual learning framework that freezes model weights and learns low‑rank interventions on hidden representations to mitigate catastrophic forgetting. Tasks that are similar share an intervention, determined by how they change the model’s output distribution, and a KL penalty keeps new tasks close to existing behavior. The approach also allows task identification at test time without explicit labels and shows improved performance and reduced forgetting across benchmarks compared to LoRA‑based methods.

The paper introduces Skill Schema Transport (SST), a post‑training framework that mitigates catastrophic forgetting in continual domain adaptation by translating new domain knowledge into a model’s existing skill space. SST abstracts each example type into a reusable skill schema, preserving essential operations while removing domain‑specific surface forms, thereby turning knowledge updates into procedural reuse rather than trajectory memorization. Experiments on two 3B instruction‑tuned backbones show that SST consistently reduces forgetting and improves generalization, achieving up to a 5.75‑point performance gain and a dramatic drop in maximum forgetting from 42.41 to 7.10 points on the Qwen‑3B MATH stream.

arXiv:2606. 01379v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While prompt-based parameter-efficient continual learning mitigates catastrophic forgetting by isolating task-specific prompts, this isolation also limits later tasks from improving earlier ones, leaving backward knowledge transfer underexplored.
arXiv:2507. 08922v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Continual learning is an online paradigm where a learner continually accumulates knowledge from different tasks encountered over sequential time steps.
