Geometry of Forgetting: Representation Flux in Continual Learning

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.

Erased, but Not Gone: Output Forgetting Is Not True Forgetting

arXiv:2606. 25001v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine unlearning (MU) is commonly judged by output forgetting, such as low forget-set accuracy or reduced logit-level membership inference.

Drift and Dependence: Layer-wise Information-Theoretic Bounds for Replay-Based Continual Learning

arXiv:2608. 11690v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Continual learning must absorb new tasks without erasing old ones, and replay---mixing a small buffer of past examples into current training---is among the most effective remedies for catastrophic forgetting.

Sparsity, Superposition, and Forgetting: A Mechanistic Study of Representation Retention in Continual Learning

arXiv:2606. 20431v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Continual learning (CL) systems often forget previously acquired knowledge, yet the mechanisms driving forgetting remain hard to isolate in practice because real datasets entangle many factors.

Forgetting is Not Erasure: Recovering Latent Knowledge via Transport Keys

arXiv:2606. 02860v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Catastrophic forgetting is often framed as a representational problem: after sequential training, a model appears to lose the features that supported performance on earlier tasks.
