arXiv:2602. 03846v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We develop a continual learning method for pretrained models that \emph{requires no access to old-task data}, addressing a practical barrier in foundation model adaptation where pretraining distributions are often unavailable.
arXiv:2607. 13432v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Plasticity -- a neural network's ability to adapt to new tasks -- is critical for continual and transfer learning.
arXiv:2604. 15414v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Continual reinforcement learning must balance retention with adaptation, yet many methods still rely on \emph{single-model preservation}, committing to one evolving policy as the main reusable solution across tasks.
arXiv:2607. 11958v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Under the free energy principle, a predictive system does not observe reality directly; it maintains a generative model of the world and experiences that model's best current hypothesis.
arXiv:2605. 29548v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Larger models learn tasks smaller models do not.
arXiv:2602.07950v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We formulate plasticity as target-dependent, finite-horizon reachability under history-dependent dynamics, using standard minimum-energy control th...
