Accuracy degradation is the standard metric for Catastrophic Forgetting (CF), however, it records only whether forgetting occurred or not. It saturates at the extremes and collapses discretely at task boundaries, hiding the internal structure of what is being forgotten.

arXiv:2606. 06032v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Catastrophic forgetting is commonly interpreted as the irreversible erasure of previously acquired knowledge during sequential learning.
arXiv:2606. 08013v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Catastrophic forgetting, the abrupt loss of previously acquired knowledge upon learning new information, remains the central challenge in Continual Learning.
arXiv:2606. 25001v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine unlearning (MU) is commonly judged by output forgetting, such as low forget-set accuracy or reduced logit-level membership inference.
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: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:2606. 03808v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose PURGE, a machine unlearning algorithm built on a simple but an under-exploited observation: continual learning (CL) and machine unlearning (MU) which are fundamentally dual problems.
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:2604. 13627v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) is a common first stage of LLM post-training, teaching the model to follow instructions and shaping its behavior as a helpful assistant.
arXiv:2606. 03939v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: 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.
arXiv:2606. 10406v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: 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.
