Continual Learning for VLMs: A Survey and Taxonomy Beyond Forgetting

arXiv:2508. 04227v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs), spanning predictive architectures to generative Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs), have revolutionized artificial intelligence through powerful cross-modal alignment and zero-shot generalization.

Foundation-Model Earth Representations Enable Regional-Scale Forest Aboveground Biomass Monitoring Across the Northeastern United States

arXiv:2607. 27217v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Forest aboveground biomass (AGB) is a critical indicator of ecosystem productivity and terrestrial carbon storage, yet regional carbon monitoring remains constrained by the sparse spatial and temporal availability of field inventories and airborne structural measurements.

VistaHop: Benchmarking Long-Horizon Visual DeepSearch

arXiv:2606. 03273v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Visual DeepSearch tasks require multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to resolve complex visual queries by repeatedly inspecting image regions, grounding reasoning in visual evidence, and connecting fine-grained clues across multiple steps.
