arXiv:2607. 09202v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Continual learning commonly relies on post-hoc mechanisms such as replay, elastic regularization, or distillation.
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.

arXiv:2605. 20247v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Catastrophic forgetting remains a major obstacle to continual learning in large language models (LLMs) and vision--language models (VLMs).
arXiv:2606. 06032v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Catastrophic forgetting is commonly interpreted as the irreversible erasure of previously acquired knowledge during sequential learning.
arXiv:2606. 01379v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While prompt-based parameter-efficient continual learning mitigates catastrophic forgetting by isolating task-specific prompts, this isolation also limits later tasks from improving earlier ones, leaving backward knowledge transfer underexplored.
arXiv:2607. 23837v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models generalize well to individual tasks but lack an inherent mechanism for learning them sequentially, leading to catastrophic forgetting.
arXiv:2608. 16345v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pre-trained models (PTMs) provide a strong foundation for continual learning by offering stable representations that facilitate lightweight adaptation to new tasks.
arXiv:2608. 01475v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural networks that can grow or both grow and shrink during learning, referred to as growing neural networks and elastic neural networks, respectively, have recently been explored in offline continual learning with a particular focus on catastrophic forgetting.
arXiv:2606. 31275v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Online Continual Self-Supervised Learning (OCSSL) aims to learn representations from a continuous stream of unlabeled data, without knowledge of task boundaries and under memory constraints.
We introduce CMP (Cognitive Memory Primitive), a continual-learning architecture that repre? sents inputs as sparse relational codes, stores them in a two-tier competitive memory, and learns through local updates without end-to-end backpropagation through its feature-generating system.
