The Urysohn Ladder: Recursive Metric Contraction for Scalable Continual Learning

arXiv:2512. 18471v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Continual learning systems face a fundamental geometric obstacle: as experience accumulates on a fixed-capacity manifold, covering numbers grow linearly with time, eventually forcing representational overlap and catastrophic interference.

Neural Subspace Reallocation: Continual Learning as Retrieval-Based Subspace Memory Management

We introduce Neural Subspace Reallocation (NSR), which reframes continual learning as memory management over parameter subspaces. Instead of treating Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) modules as disposable per-task adapters, NSR manages them as compressible, retrievable memory units on a frozen backbone through a recurring cycle: (1) compress learned LoRAs via SVD, (2) reserve them in a TaskKnowledgeBank, (3) recall related past LoRAs by embedding similarity to warm-start new or returning tasks, and (4) reallocate the active subspace accordingly, with distillation protecting prior tasks.

Riemannian-Manifold Steering: Geometry-Aware Generative Autoencoders for Label-Free Steering

arXiv:2605. 24942v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Steering a language model - intervening on its internal activations to change downstream behaviour - has recently expanded beyond linear interpolation to nonlinear methods such as angular and kernelized steering, which define intervention transformations without learning an explicit geometry over paths in activation space.

Hyperbolic Multimodal Continual Learning

arXiv:2608. 09572v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hyperbolic geometry has recently emerged as a powerful representation space for multimodal learning, as it naturally captures hierarchical semantic structure across modalities.
