arXiv:2605. 15435v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Standard deep-learning pipelines usually choose the network architecture before training and keep it fixed throughout optimization.

arXiv:2608. 04358v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Continual learning (CL) requires models to learn tasks sequentially, yet deep neural networks often suffer from plasticity loss and poor knowledge transfer, which can impede their long-term adaptability.

Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) value factorization methods can suffer from a loss of plasticity, gradually failing to adapt when transferring to new task instances. We trace this issue to stagnant neurons, units whose gradient updates become negligibly small relative to their weights, thereby hindering learning.

arXiv:2608. 01475v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural networks that can grow or both grow and shrink during learning, referred to as growing neural networks and elastic neural networks, respectively, have recently been explored in offline continual learning with a particular focus on catastrophic forgetting.

arXiv:2606. 30669v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Backpropagation-trained dense neural networks are powerful function approximators, but they couple learning across many parameters and can overwrite previous associations when tasks conflict.
