The paper introduces sLoTh, a parameter‑efficient continual learning framework for sparse event‑based vision transformers. sLoTh freezes the backbone and limits plasticity to low‑rank attention updates (seLoRA) and shared neuronal threshold modulation, updating less than 1% of parameters without replay buffers. Experiments on CIFAR‑100, Tiny‑ImageNet, ImageNet‑100, and ImageNet‑R show competitive rehearsal‑free performance across up to 100 tasks while achieving roughly 6.5× lower energy consumption than dense vision transformers.
Visual Prompting (VP) has emerged as an efficient paradigm for adapting large-scale pre-trained vision models to downstream tasks by incorporating learnable prompts at the input level. However, existing VP methods typically employ dense pixel-level prompts, which often suffer from redundant perturbations, limited generalization and energy inefficiency.
