HERO: Preserving Structure and Semantics in Heterogeneous Continual Graph Learning

HERO is a heterogeneous continual graph learning framework that preserves historical knowledge at both structural and semantic levels while adapting to new tasks. It uses DiSCo to select representative target nodes and reconstruct compact heterogeneous contexts, and applies multi-level knowledge distillation to align task-conditioned predictions with semantic responses. Experiments on four datasets with three HGNN backbones show HERO achieves best or tied-best average performance while maintaining competitive forgetting.

MePo++: Unifying Representation Refinement and Reconciliation for General Continual Learning

MePo++ is a post‑training framework designed for general continual learning (GCL) that unifies representation refinement and reconciliation. It introduces MetaPrep, which enhances representation plasticity via unsupervised meta‑refinement on pseudo continual sequences, and StreamAlign, which maintains stability by reconciling online features with a stable pretrained geometry. Experiments across various pretrained models, datasets, and continual learning baselines show that MePo++ consistently improves performance in PTM‑based GCL.

Continual Reasoning Gym: Diagnosing and Harnessing Shared Reasoning in Continual RLVR

The paper introduces Continual Reasoning Gym, a continual reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) environment that sequences text and visual reasoning tasks. It finds that sequential RLVR suffers modest forgetting and underperforms multitask RLVR, but that shared reasoning structures can be leveraged. The authors propose Continual Prompt Replay (CPR), which replays previous-task prompts and regenerates responses, achieving performance comparable to multitask RLVR.

Beyond Forgetting: Diagnosing and Harnessing Shared Reasoning in Continual RLVR

The paper introduces Continual Reasoning Gym, a continual‑RLVR environment that sequences text and visual reasoning tasks. It finds that while sequential RLVR shows modest forgetting, its final performance lags behind multitask RLVR (MTRL) because forgetting explains only part of the gap. To bridge this, the authors propose Continual Prompt Replay (CPR), which replays previous‑task prompts and regenerates responses with the current policy, achieving on average MTRL‑level performance.
