Task-Driven Subspace Decomposition for Knowledge Sharing and Isolation in LoRA-based Continual Learning

arXiv:2603.00191v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Continual Learning (CL) requires models to sequentially adapt to new tasks without forgetting old knowledge. Recently, Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA), a representative Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) method, has gained increasing attention in CL. Several LoRA-based CL methods reduce interference across tasks by separating their update spaces, typically building the new space from the estimated null space of past tasks. However, they (i) overlook task-shared directions, which suppresses knowledge transfer, and (ii) fail to capture truly eff
The rapid advancement of AI models necessitates efficient learning techniques to manage increasing complexity and data streams without catastrophic forgetting.
Improving continual learning for large AI models is crucial for their practical deployment in dynamic environments, ensuring adaptability and long-term utility.
New methods for LoRA-based continual learning promise more effective knowledge sharing and isolation, leading to more robust and less resource-intensive model updates.
