Continual unlearning poses the challenge of enabling large vision-language models to selectively refuse specific image-instruction pairs in response to sequential deletion requests, while preserving general utility. However, sequential unlearning updates distort shared representations, creating spur
Class-Incremental Learning (CIL) traditionally assumes that all tasks share a similar domain distribution, limiting its applicability in real-world scenarios where data arrive from evolving environments. We introduce a new problem setting, Cross-Expanding Incremental Learning (XIL), which extends C…
Continual learning enables pre-trained generative vision-language models (VLMs) to incorporate knowledge from new tasks without retraining data from previous ones. Recent methods update a visual projector to translate visual information for new tasks, connecting pre-trained vision encoders with larg…
The well-known rhetorical framework, ABT (And, But, Therefore), mirrors natural human cognition in structuring an argument’s logical progression - apropos to academic communication. However, distilling the complexities of research into clear and concise prose requires careful sequencing of ideas and
The reasoning, writing, text-editing, and retrieval capabilities of proprietary large language models (LLMs) have advanced rapidly, providing users with an ever-expanding set of functionalities. However, this growing utility has also led to a serious societal concern: the over-reliance on LLMs. In p
Neural ordinary differential equations (NODEs), one of the most influential works of the differential equation-based deep learning, are to continuously generalize residual networks and opened a new field. They are currently utilized for various downstream tasks, e.g., image classification, time seri…
A standard practice in developing image recognition models is to train a model on a specific image resolution and then deploy it. However, in real-world inference, models often encounter images different from the training sets in resolution and/or subject to natural variations such as weather change…
Deep neural networks suffer from catastrophic forgetting in continual learning, where they tend to lose information about previously learned tasks when optimizing a new incoming task. Recent strategies isolate the important parameters for previous tasks to retain old knowledge while learning the new…
"When optimizing sequentially incoming tasks, deep neural networks generally suffer from catastrophic forgetting due to their lack of ability to maintain knowledge from old tasks. This may lead to a significant performance drop of the previously learned tasks. To alleviate this problem, studies on c…
