The Self-Improvement Problem
Brian B. Moser, Stanislav Frolov, Tobias C. Nauen +2
With the rise of large language models, agentic systems are becoming increasingly autonomous, as they write code, call tools, revise prompts, and propose modifications to their own…
Layers Matter: Why Continual Learning Regularization Should Be Layer-Adaptive
Brian B. Moser, Ahmed Anwar, Tobias Christian Nauen +5
Continual learning regularizers like EWC fight forgetting by penalizing changes from previous-task parameters with per-parameter importance, typically diagonal Fisher values. Per-p…
LUMA: Benchmarking Segmentation via a Lightweight Universal Mask Adapter
Tobias Christian Nauen, Anosh Billimoria, Federico Raue +3
Comparing transformer backbones for image segmentation is confounded: each is paired with a different decoder, recipe, and pretraining, so reported differences rarely reflect the b…
The Gentle Collapse: Distributional Metrics for Continual Learning
Ahmed Anwar, Andreas Wagner, Federico Raue +2
Accuracy degradation is the standard metric for Catastrophic Forgetting (CF), however, it records only whether forgetting occurred or not. It saturates at the extremes and collapse…
OA-CutMix: Correcting the Label Bias of CutMix
Tobias Christian Nauen, Stanislav Frolov, Federico Raue +2
CutMix has become the de facto standard mixing augmentation, yet its label assignment rests on a flawed assumption: The area of the pasted patch faithfully reflects its semantic co…
TextTeacher: What Can Language Teach About Images?
Tobias Christian Nauen, Stanislav Frolov, Brian Bernhard Moser +3
The platonic representation hypothesis suggests that sufficiently large models converge to a shared representation geometry, even across modalities. Motivated by this, we ask: Can…
Hyperspherical Forward-Forward with Prototypical Representations
Shalini Sarode, Brian Moser, Joachim Folz +4
The Forward-Forward (FF) algorithm presents a compelling, bio-inspired alternative to backpropagation. However, while efficient in training, it has a computationally prohibitive in…
When Pretty Isn't Useful: Investigating Why Modern Text-to-Image Models Fail as Reliable Training Data Generators
Krzysztof Adamkiewicz, Brian Bernhard Moser, Stanislav Frolov +3
Recent text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models produce visually stunning images and demonstrate excellent prompt following. But do they perform well as synthetic vision data generator…
