arXiv:2606. 07500v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Continual learning in Large Language Models (LLMs) is hindered by the plasticity-stability dilemma, where acquiring new capabilities often leads to catastrophic forgetting of previous knowledge.

arXiv:2607. 23837v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models generalize well to individual tasks but lack an inherent mechanism for learning them sequentially, leading to catastrophic forgetting.

arXiv:2601. 13020v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Continual instruction tuning (CIT) requires multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to adapt to a stream of tasks without forgetting prior capabilities.

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:2606. 26629v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Weight-space regularization methods such as Elastic Weight Consolidation (EWC) are the standard approach to catastrophic forgetting in continual learning.

arXiv:2604. 27031v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In a continual learning setting, we require a model to be plastic enough to learn a new task and stable enough to not disturb previously learned capabilities.
