Layers Matter: Why Continual Learning Regularization Should Be Layer-Adaptive

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2608. 15901v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Continual learning regularizers like EWC fight forgetting by penalizing changes from previous-task parameters with per-parameter importance, typically diagonal Fisher values.

PURGE: Projected Unlearning via Retain-Guided Erasure

arXiv:2606. 03808v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose PURGE, a machine unlearning algorithm built on a simple but an under-exploited observation: continual learning (CL) and machine unlearning (MU) which are fundamentally dual problems.

Soft-TransFormers for Continual Learning

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.
