arXiv:2607. 17944v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce CMP (Cognitive Memory Primitive), an architecture that represents inputs as sparse relational codes, stores them in a two-tier competitive memory, and learns entirely through local, gradient-free updates, with no backpropagation anywhere in the network.

We introduce CMP (Cognitive Memory Primitive), a continual-learning architecture that repre? sents inputs as sparse relational codes, stores them in a two-tier competitive memory, and learns through local updates without end-to-end backpropagation through its feature-generating system.
arXiv:2606. 02860v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Catastrophic forgetting is often framed as a representational problem: after sequential training, a model appears to lose the features that supported performance on earlier tasks.
arXiv:2507. 07754v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Machine unlearning is usually evaluated by what the classifier outputs: forget-set accuracy, confidence, membership-inference scores.
arXiv:2601. 22012v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Catastrophic forgetting in continual learning is often measured at the performance or last-layer representation level, overlooking the underlying mechanisms.
We argue that forgetting is not confined to continual learning but is a general optimization phenomenon: during standard training, dominant mini-batch gradients suppress rare but useful update directions, causing short-term forgetting at every step. When such knowledge is never revisited, these losses compound into long-term forgetting-the classical failure mode of continual learning.
arXiv:2608. 11690v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Continual learning must absorb new tasks without erasing old ones, and replay---mixing a small buffer of past examples into current training---is among the most effective remedies for catastrophic forgetting.
arXiv:2601. 18699v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Sequential fine-tuning of Large Language Models (LLMs) adaptation to target tasks often triggers catastrophic forgetting, where the acquisition of novel target skills degrades ancestral capabilities.

arXiv:2511. 08226v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In order to achieve Continual Learning (CL), the problem of catastrophic forgetting, one that has plagued neural networks since their inception, must be overcome.
arXiv:2608. 15854v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Catastrophic forgetting remains a fundamental obstacle to continual learning, where neural networks lose previously acquired knowledge while learning new tasks.
arXiv:2607. 12204v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Attention can be viewed as an online learner over context, yet existing test-time memories cannot certify that dropping a token leaves outputs unchanged or delete its influence outright.
