Data-free continual model merging (DFCMM) aims to fuse independently fine-tuned models into a single backbone that evolves with incoming tasks without accessing task data. This paper formulate two fundamental desiderata for DFCMM: transparency, avoiding interference with earlier tasks, and fidelity,…
Unlike traditional Multimodal Class-Incremental Learning (MCIL) methods that focus only on vision and text, this paper explores MCIL across vision, audio and text modalities, addressing challenges in integrating complementary information and mitigating catastrophic forgetting. To tackle these issues…
Continual model merging integrates independently fine-tuned models sequentially without access to the original training data, offering a scalable and efficient solution for continual learning. However, existing methods face two critical challenges: parameter interference among tasks, which leads to…
Non-exemplar class incremental learning (NECIL) aims to continuously assimilate new knowledge without forgetting previously acquired ones when historical data are unavailable. One of the generative NECIL methods is to invert the images of old classes for joint training. However these synthetic image…
Recently, with the development of the Transformer, re-identification (ReID) has great success in various applications. Existing works prefer to utilize the Transformer’s highest-level information as its discriminative feature, which focuses on a few concentrated parts or areas. However, in ReID file…
