arXiv:2603. 07523v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Transferring knowledge by fine-tuning large-scale pre-trained networks has become a standard paradigm for downstream tasks, yet the knowledge of a pre-trained model is tightly coupled with monolithic architecture, which restricts flexible reuse across models of varying scales.
arXiv:2506. 11042v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) has emerged as a resource-efficient strategy for adapting Pretrained Foundation Models (PFMs) by learning a small number of task-specific updates $\Delta W$.
arXiv:2506. 14126v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Modern deep learning is increasingly characterized by the use of open-weight foundation models that can be fine-tuned on specialized datasets.
The paper introduces CATTLE, a transfer learning framework for disjoint tabular datasets that eliminates the need for shared features by leveraging generalized context learned through transformer projection weights. By using key, value, and query weights from source and target domains, CATTLE performs cross‑domain attention transfer in a data‑agnostic manner. Experiments on ten source‑target pairs demonstrate that CATTLE outperforms nine state‑of‑the‑art baselines, achieving the best average rank (2.9) and a 3.7% AUROC improvement.
arXiv:2603. 02462v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A key challenge in developing unified neural solvers for combinatorial optimization (CO) is the efficient generalization of models from a given set of tasks to new tasks unseen during initial training.

arXiv:2606. 16256v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Continual learning for pre-trained vision-language models requires balancing three competing objectives: retaining pre-trained knowledge, preserving knowledge from a sequence of learned tasks, and maintaining the plasticity to acquire new knowledge.
arXiv:2608.31096v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Class-incremental learning (CIL) requires a model to incrementally learn tasks that contain new classes without accessing earlier training data while...
arXiv:2510. 04567v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are powerful tools for processing relational data but often struggle to generalize to unseen graphs, giving rise to the development of Graph Foundational Models (GFMs).
arXiv:2606. 16112v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Residual architectures are ubiquitous in deep learning, but they suffer from a subtle structural limitation: the norm of the residual stream can grow rapidly with depth.
