CogFlow: Bridging Perception and Reasoning through Knowledge Internalization for Visual Mathematical Problem Solving

ICLR 2026poster

Despite recent advances, multimodal large language models continue to struggle with visual mathematical problem solving. Some recent works recognize that visual perception is a bottleneck in visual mathematical reasoning, but their solutions are limited to improving the extraction and interpretation…

Why Does RL Generalize Better Than SFT? A Data-Centric Perspective on VLM Post-Training

CVPR 2026

Post-training of large-scale Vision-Language Models (VLMs) reveals a pronounced generalization gap: models fine-tuned with Reinforcement Learning (RL) consistently achieve superior out-of-distribution (OOD) performance compared to those trained with Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT). This paper posits a

Rethinking the Stability-Plasticity Trade-off in Continual Learning from an Architectural Perspective

ICML 2025poster

The quest for Continual Learning (CL) seeks to empower neural networks with the ability to learn and adapt incrementally. Central to this pursuit is addressing the stability-plasticity dilemma, which involves striking a balance between two conflicting objectives: preserving previously learned knowle…

Make Continual Learning Stronger via C-Flat

NeurIPS 2024poster

How to balance the learning ’sensitivity-stability’ upon new task training and memory preserving is critical in CL to resolve catastrophic forgetting. Improving model generalization ability within each learning phase is one solution to help CL learning overcome the gap in the joint knowledge space.…

Revisiting Neural Networks for Continual Learning: An Architectural Perspective

IJCAI 2024poster

Efforts to overcome catastrophic forgetting have primarily centered around developing more effective Continual Learning (CL) methods. In contrast, less attention was devoted to analyzing the role of network architecture design (e.g., network depth, width, and components) in contributing to CL. This…
