arXiv:2607. 22994v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Class-incremental learning (CIL) requires models to continuously acquire new knowledge while avoiding catastrophic forgetting.
The paper investigates whether a model that has undergone class unlearning can still recover forgotten classes without access to original data. It introduces a white‑box audit method that generates synthetic probes in representation space, filters them by confidence, and relabels boundary‑adjacent probes as the forgotten class. The authors define a Relearning Score to quantify recovery while preserving retain performance, and demonstrate that several unlearning techniques on CIFAR‑10, CIFAR‑100, and TinyImageNet can be fully recovered in a source‑free setting, sometimes even outperforming a retrained reference.
arXiv:2606. 31495v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study a single idea across two settings: that a prediction-error signal, computed by a small predictor over the latent space of a frozen encoder, can serve both as a gate on plasticity and as a substrate for metacognition.
arXiv:2606. 05695v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Exemplar-free class-incremental learning (EFCIL) aims to acquire new classes over time without storing raw data.
The paper presents a generative continual learning framework that extends self‑organizing maps (SOMs) with learned distributional statistics and encoder–decoder models for class‑incremental learning. By storing running means, variances, and covariances for each SOM unit, the method can generate synthetic samples for replay without storing raw data, enabling exemplar‑free learning. Experiments on CIFAR‑10, CIFAR‑100, and TinyImageNet show competitive or superior performance compared to state‑of‑the‑art memory‑based and memory‑free methods, and the approach also allows easy visualization and post‑training generative use.
