HyLoVQA: Dynamic Hypernetwork-Generated Low-Rank Adaptation for Continual Visual Question Answering

arXiv:2605.22035v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Continual Visual Question Answering (VQA) requires learning from non-stationary streams of visual inputs and questions while preserving past knowledge. Most prior methods adapt by updating a largely shared parameter set. This often leads to cross-level task interference, hindering accurate adaptation to the current task and object. To address this limitation, we propose HyLoVQA. It maintains a drift-resilient memory bank of anchors. The bank stores the content of visual objects and textual tasks, and they are updated using current input feature
This research addresses the fundamental challenge of catastrophic forgetting in continual learning, a key bottleneck for deploying AI in dynamic, real-world environments.
Continual VQA advancements enable AI systems to adapt to new information without losing prior knowledge, crucial for robust and long-lived AI applications in diverse domains.
The proposed HyLoVQA method introduces a novel approach to mitigate cross-level task interference in continual learning, improving adaptation and knowledge preservation in evolving VQA tasks.

More adaptable and robust AI models can be deployed in environments with non-stationary data streams.
This reduces the engineering overhead for maintaining AI systems, accelerating their integration into complex operational scenarios.
It could contribute to the development of more general-purpose AI agents capable of continuous self-improvement in dynamic settings.
