arXiv:2606. 09960v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present HydraCIL, a decoupled continual learning model based on prototype-guided multi-head classifiers, targeting sustainable deployment in embedded and resource-constrained environments.
arXiv:2411. 16073v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Inspired by the Well-initialized Lottery Ticket Hypothesis (WLTH), we introduce Soft-TransFormers (Soft-TF), a continual learning framework that adapts a frozen pre-trained Transformer through task-specific soft subnetworks: real-valued multiplicative masks over the query, key, value, and output projections of selected self-attention layers.

arXiv:2509. 11285v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Class-Incremental Learning (CIL) in deep neural networks is conventionally framed as an iterative gradient-based optimization problem, incurring high computational cost, hyperparameter sensitivity, and risk of catastrophic forgetting.
Dynamic expansion methods for class-incremental learning (CIL) protect task-specific knowledge by growing dedicated tokens or subnetworks, yet our analyses suggest that classification supervision alone does not sufficiently preserve task-agnostic shared backbone representations over long incremental sequences. We identify two intertwined challenges: cross-task confusion from sequential training on predominantly current-task data, which biases decision boundaries toward recent tasks; and under-optimized shared representations in the backbone that cap long-term discriminability as tasks accumulate.
