Representation Finetuning for Continual Learning
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.
Class Incremental Learning (CIL) aims to learn new concepts consistently from a data stream without forgetting. Unlike typical CIL methods which need to learn a model from scratch, pre-trained model (PTM) can easily adapt to a new task with fine-tuning.
