Machine unlearning, which enables a model to forget specific data, is crucial for ensuring data privacy and model reliability. However, its effectiveness can be severely undermined in real-world scenarios where models learn unintended biases from spurious correlations within the data. This paper inv
Pretrained Vision-Language Models (VLMs) like CLIP show promise in continual learning, but existing Few-Shot Class-Incremental Learning (FSCIL) methods assume homogeneous domains and balanced data distributions, limiting real-world applicability where data arises from heterogeneous disciplines with
Vision-language (VL) models have demonstrated strong performance across various tasks. However, these models often rely on a specific modality for predictions, leading to “dominant modality bias.” This bias significantly hurts performance, especially when one modality is impaired. In this study, we…
Pre-trained Language Models (PLMs) have achieved remarkable performance on diverse NLP tasks through pre-training and fine-tuning. However, fine-tuning the model with a large number of parameters on limited downstream datasets often leads to vulnerability to adversarial attacks, causing overfitting…
Transformer-based models have achieved dominant performance in numerous NLP tasks. Despite their remarkable successes, pre-trained transformers such as BERT suffer from a computationally expensive self-attention mechanism that interacts with all tokens, including the ones unfavorable to classificati…
