GRASP: Gradient-Aligned Sequential Parameter Transfer for Memory-Efficient Multi-Source Learning

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2606. 14900v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-source transfer learning faces a fundamental scalability bottleneck: existing approaches require either loading all K source models into memory simultaneously during parameter fusion, requiring O(K) memory, or deploying all models at inference time, making production deployment infeasible.

Breaking the Scale Barrier: One-Shot Knowledge Transfer via Frequency Transform

arXiv:2603. 07523v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Transferring knowledge by fine-tuning large-scale pre-trained networks has become a standard paradigm for downstream tasks, yet the knowledge of a pre-trained model is tightly coupled with monolithic architecture, which restricts flexible reuse across models of varying scales.

LoopFM: Learning frOm HistOrical RePresentations of Foundation Model for Recommendation

arXiv:2605. 29280v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Knowledge distillation (KD) transfers a single scalar prediction from a large foundation model (FM) to compact vertical models (VMs), suffering from diminishing transfer ratio -- the fraction of FM improvement captured by the VM -- as a single scalar cannot convey the rich intermediate knowledge that larger FMs learn.

Decoupled and Distilled: Task-Adaptive LoRA-Teachers with Ensemble Knowledge Transfer for Few-Shot Class-Incremental Learning

The paper introduces TALON, a Task‑Adaptive LoRA‑Teacher framework for Few‑Shot Class‑Incremental Learning. TALON assigns a dedicated LoRA‑Teacher to each incremental task, then distills the frozen teachers into a single LoRA‑Student via Ensemble Knowledge Transfer, using a semantic‑guided weighting scheme to reduce forgetting and overfitting. Experiments on four FSCIL benchmarks show that TALON matches or surpasses state‑of‑the‑art accuracy while using up to 33× fewer deployment parameters and cutting inference time by 41.7%.
