The paper introduces EvolvingNav, a system that builds a time‑indexed belief about moving targets in dynamic environments by combining timestamped 3D object histories with a persistence‑relocation model. It uses an event‑driven filter to update beliefs over time, incorporates RGB‑D evidence, and applies a zero‑shot vision‑language controller for action selection. The authors also present EvoWorld‑Bench, a large benchmark of human‑activity‑based scenes, and demonstrate that EvolvingNav outperforms baselines in both simulation and real‑robot experiments, especially when temporal patterns are learnable.

The paper proposes a drift‑adaptive method for Domain‑Incremental Learning that tracks representation drift for each past domain‑class pair. By measuring how much a concept’s current representation deviates from a fixed anchor, the method assigns stronger preservation to high‑drift pairs and down‑weights highly drifted domains during prototype construction. Experiments on DomainNet, Office‑Home, CORe50, and CDDB‑Hard show that this approach maintains a strong accuracy‑forgetting balance while using less training memory and the smallest storage compared to other methods.

LT-Mem introduces a volatility‑aware memory evolution framework for lifelong scene understanding, combining spatially aligned instance‑level 3D perception with temporal reasoning. It uses a multi‑session SLAM backbone, a reasoning layer that scores evidence and selects memory actions, and a Tri‑Memory structure (Live, Delta, Meta) to preserve current states and event histories. The accompanying LT‑VQA dataset provides multi‑session recordings, persistent identity annotations, and temporal QA pairs, and experiments show LT‑Mem outperforms baselines while using far fewer tokens.

The paper introduces HASTEN, a hierarchical semantic tree anchoring framework that enhances CLIP-based class‑incremental learning by incorporating external hierarchical knowledge into hyperbolic space. By treating classes as part of a structured hierarchy rather than isolated labels, HASTEN stabilizes visual and textual feature mappings, reduces feature drift, and mitigates catastrophic forgetting across incremental tasks. Experiments on nine benchmarks demonstrate that HASTEN consistently outperforms existing methods.

Open-world object detection (OWOD) requires a detector to recognize known categories, discover unnamed objects from unseen categories, and incrementally learn newly annotated classes. PROB improves unknown discovery by modeling class-agnostic probabilistic objectness in the decoder-query space.

PerSeM is a training‑free framework that builds a persistent semantic memory for long‑horizon UAV mapping by associating frame‑wise segmentation results with world‑space voxels and refining them through spatial refinement, trust‑aware replay, and context‑guided verification. Experiments on Forest and UAVScenes benchmarks show that this persistent 3D memory improves semantic correctness and temporal stability compared to frame‑wise predictions, especially in semantically difficult and temporally unstable regions. The method achieves these gains without retraining or additional neural‑network inference.
