Continual Learning in Transition
Zhiyan Hou, Dan Zhang, Tao Feng +11
Classical continual learning (CL) has primarily focused on enabling models to update and retain knowledge through parameter-centric mechanisms, e.g., training strategies, architect…
DASH: Divergence-Adaptive Supervision Horizons for On-Policy Self-Distillation of Reasoning Models
ZhiYan Hou, Xinyu Tang, Hongyan An +9
Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) improves the reasoning capabilities of large language models using automatically verifiable outcome signals, but these signals…
ResMerge: Residual-based Spectral Merging of Large Language Models
Yandu Sun, Zhiyan Hou, Hongyan An +6
Model merging offers a training-free way to combine multiple post-trained expert models, but merging experts obtained through reinforcement learning (RL) remains challenging. Exist…
FOCUS: Fine-grained Optimization with Semantic Guided Understanding for Pedestrian Attributes Recognition
Hongyan An, Kuan Zhu, Xin He +4
Pedestrian attribute recognition (PAR) is a fundamental perception task in intelligent transportation and security. To tackle this fine-grained task, most existing methods focus on…
