arXiv:2411.02813v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Continual learning methods based on pre-trained models (PTM) have recently gained attention which adapt to successive downstream tasks without catastrophic forgetting. These methods typically refrain from updating the pre-trained parameters and instead employ additional adapters, prompts, and classifiers. In this paper, we from a novel perspective investigate the benefit of sparse orthogonal parameters for continual learning. We found that merging sparse orthogonality of models learned from multiple streaming tasks has great potential in addr
The proliferation of increasingly large pre-trained AI models necessitates more efficient and adaptable learning methods to overcome 'catastrophic forgetting' in successive tasks.
This development offers a potential avenue for more efficient and robust continual learning, which is crucial for AI systems deployed in dynamic, real-world environments.
The research proposes a novel method using sparse orthogonal parameters to improve how pre-trained models adapt to new tasks without degrading existing knowledge.
