On the Geometry of Forgetting in Continual Self-Supervised Learning

· 0 citations · 31 references

TL;DR

This work investigates catastrophic forgetting in continual SSL from an explicitly geometric perspective, moving beyond downstream linear probe accuracy to characterize the evolution of the representation space directly and inform the development of novel methods that specifically preserve the embedding space geometry.

Geometry of Forgetting: Representation Flux in Continual Learning

This work proposes FlowLess-R, a representation-space regularization method that constrains replay representations relative to stored references while allowing continued learning and introduces representation flux, a geometric measure of sample-level representation displacement across training.

TASSO: TAsk-Specific Subspace Optimization for Continual Learning of Vision-Language Models

TASSO, a new paradigm that efficiently preserves the latent space geometry while ensuring network plasticity, is introduced with two complementary techniques: subspace learning and geometry-aware knowledge distillation.

Cross-Domain Generalization in Machine Unlearning via Label-Conditioned Energy Magnitude Regularization

This paper studies what happens to the rest of the model when a class is forgotten, using a label-conditioned energy-based model (EBM) that assigns per-class energies, making the effect directly observable.

Lifelong Representations: A Survey on Continual Self-Supervised Learning for Vision Models

This work presents a comprehensive survey of CSSL for vision, with connections to emerging vision-language settings and argues that advancing CSSL requires moving beyond small-scale benchmarks towards continual pre-training paradigms for large-scale systems.

FlatManifold: Robust Continual Learning under Severe Label Noise and Domain Shifts via Intrinsic Manifold Flattening

In non-stationary streaming environments, simultaneously adapting to complex, non-linear domain shifts via continual learning while mitigating the catastrophic effects of severe, uncalibrated label noise poses a fundamental mathematical challenge. In this paper, we propose \FlatManifold{}, a novel, streamlined robust c...
