Federated Learning (FL) of foundation and edge models increasingly targets deployments where client data distributions drift over time, yet existing forgetting-mitigation methods assume each client's distribution is stationary. Flashback, the strongest recent FL method against cross-client (spatial) forgetting, uses monotonically accumulating per-class label counts as a knowledge proxy; this proxy becomes miscalibrated under temporal distribution shift and anchors the global model to an outdated class balance.

The paper argues that catastrophic forgetting and loss of plasticity alone cannot explain why naive sequential training underperforms offline joint training. It introduces data co-observation as a third factor, showing that observing training data together consistently improves performance across supervised and self-supervised settings. The study also reinterprets common continual learning methods, suggesting that memory replay’s success stems from restoring co-observation benefits rather than merely mitigating forgetting.

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.
