Beyond Static Models: An Evolving Framework for Continual Learning in Large Language Models across Training Stages

arXiv:2603. 12658v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Continual learning (CL) has emerged as a pivotal paradigm to enable large language models (LLMs) to dynamically adapt to evolving knowledge and sequential tasks while mitigating catastrophic forgetting, a critical limitation of the static pre-training paradigm inherent to modern LLMs.

Retrievable Gradients: Continual Post-Training Without Cumulative Weight Drift

arXiv:2606. 15734v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Continual post-training enables models to absorb emerging knowledge after deployment, but repeatedly updating shared parameters can accumulate weight drift, potentially causing catastrophic forgetting and degrading general capabilities.

Dynamic Short Convolutions Improve Transformers

arXiv:2606. 03825v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transformers have become the dominant architecture for large language models, largely due to the scalability and flexibility of attention, feed-forward layers, residual connections, and normalization.
