arXiv:2606. 20431v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Continual learning (CL) systems often forget previously acquired knowledge, yet the mechanisms driving forgetting remain hard to isolate in practice because real datasets entangle many factors.
arXiv:2606. 06032v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Catastrophic forgetting is commonly interpreted as the irreversible erasure of previously acquired knowledge during sequential learning.
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:2609.39367v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite the widespread use of Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA), little is known about its dynamics in continual learning and the mechanisms by which low-rank...
arXiv:2609.38768v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Prior work has shown that neural networks exhibit implicit biases toward low-complexity structure (e.g., spectral bias), memorization dynamics, and c...
arXiv:2607. 09202v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Continual learning commonly relies on post-hoc mechanisms such as replay, elastic regularization, or distillation.

arXiv:2609.06986v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Language models may need to internalize information that arrives over time and retain it through many subsequent updates. To study this challenge, we i...
The paper argues that catastrophic forgetting and loss of plasticity alone cannot explain why naive sequential training underperforms offline joint training. It introduces data co-observation as a third factor, showing that observing training data together consistently improves performance across supervised and self-supervised settings. The study also reinterprets common continual learning methods, suggesting that memory replay’s success stems from restoring co-observation benefits rather than merely mitigating forgetting.
arXiv:2603. 11201v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The world is inherently dynamic, and continual learning aims to enable models to adapt to ever-evolving data streams.
arXiv:2606. 02461v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Language agents spend substantial inference time solving individual tasks, yet the experience acquired in one episode is often underutilized in future episodes.
arXiv:2606. 17889v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Compositional learning systems must balance plasticity, the ability to acquire new knowledge, with stability, the preservation of previously learned components, especially when tasks share structure and risk interference.
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.
