Continuous Memory Machines

The paper introduces the Continuous Memory Machine (CMM), a recurrent neural network that uses separate matrix-valued short‑term and long‑term memory states. Short‑term memory tracks recent neural activity with neuron‑level models for rapid computation, while long‑term memory stores information for later use; both are jointly updated by a Transformer that allows bidirectional read‑write operations. Experiments on algorithmic, in‑context learning, and recurrent reasoning tasks show that CMM outperforms many baselines and generalizes better than previous memory‑augmented networks, while maintaining interpretable attention patterns from the Continuous Thought Machine.

DRDN: Decoupled Representation Dynamic Network for From-Scratch ViT Class-Incremental Learning

Dynamic expansion methods for class-incremental learning (CIL) protect task-specific knowledge by growing dedicated tokens or subnetworks, yet our analyses suggest that classification supervision alone does not sufficiently preserve task-agnostic shared backbone representations over long incremental sequences. We identify two intertwined challenges: cross-task confusion from sequential training on predominantly current-task data, which biases decision boundaries toward recent tasks; and under-optimized shared representations in the backbone that cap long-term discriminability as tasks accumulate.
