Representation Finetuning for Continual Learning
The world is inherently dynamic, and continual learning aims to enable models to adapt to ever-evolving data streams. While pre-trained models have shown powerful performance in continual learning, they still require finetuning to adapt effectively to downstream tasks. However, prevailing Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) methods operate through empirical, black-box optimization at the weight level. These approaches lack explicit control over representation drift, leading to sensitivity to domain shifts and catastrophic forgetting in continual learning scenarios. In this work, we introduce Continual Representation Learning (CoRe), a novel framework that for the first time shifts the ...
