Temporal Memory-Aware Online Test-Time Adaptation on Dynamic Graphs

The paper introduces DGOTTA, a framework for temporal memory‑aware online test‑time adaptation on dynamic graphs. DGOTTA comprises three modules: temporal‑aware augmentation to diversify test graphs, memory‑aware model prediction to mitigate catastrophic forgetting, and consistency‑guided online adaptation to enforce temporal alignment and smoothness. Experiments on three real‑world datasets and four DGNN backbones show that DGOTTA improves generalization under diverse distribution shifts and across multiple model architectures.

Continual Test-Time Adaptation in Computer Vision: Methods, Benchmarks, and Future Directions

Deep neural nets achieve remarkable performance when training and test data share the same distribution, but this assumption frequently breaks in real-world deployment, where data undergoes continual distributional shifts. Continual Test-Time Adaptation (CTTA) addresses this challenge by adapting pretrained models to non-stationary target distributions on-the-fly, without access to source data or labeled targets, while mitigating two critical failure modes: catastrophic forgetting of source knowledge and error accumulation from noisy pseudo-labels over extended time horizons.

Continual Test-Time Adaptation in Computer Vision: Methods, Benchmarks, and Future Directions

The paper surveys Continual Test-Time Adaptation (CTTA), a framework that adapts pretrained computer‑vision models to non‑stationary target distributions without source data or labeled targets, while avoiding catastrophic forgetting and error accumulation. It formally defines the CTTA problem, categorizes existing methods into optimization‑based, parameter‑efficient, and architecture‑based families, and reviews representative techniques and benchmarks across standard evaluation settings. The survey also outlines current limitations and proposes future research directions, such as adapting foundation models and black‑box systems.

A Survey on Self-Improving Test-Time Intelligence: Feedback-Driven Adapting, Learning, and Scaling at Inference

The paper surveys the emerging field of self‑improving AI systems that refine their behavior during deployment. It introduces a unified framework called feedback‑driven Test‑Time Intelligence (TTI) to connect two previously separate research directions: model state modification via test‑time signals and prediction enhancement through additional inference resources. The survey reviews key methods, applications across vision, language, multimodal learning, generative models, robotics, and healthcare, and outlines open challenges and a research roadmap.
