The paper introduces LoDA, a LoRA-based continual learning method that decomposes update spaces into task‑shared and truly task‑specific subspaces using energy‑based objectives. By fixing down‑projections and learning up‑projections with Gradient‑Aligned Optimization, LoDA recalibrates general updates in closed form after each task, aiming to improve knowledge sharing and isolation. Experiments show that LoDA outperforms existing CL methods.
