From Coefficients to Directions: Rethinking Model Merging with Directional Alignment
Zhikang Chen, Sen Cui, Deheng Ye +5
Model merging has emerged as a practical paradigm for integrating multiple independently trained models into a single model without joint retraining. Previous studies have demonstr…
Decentralized Dynamic Cooperation of Personalized Models for Federated Continual Learning
Danni Yang, Zhikang Chen, Sen Cui +6
Federated continual learning (FCL) has garnered increasing attention for its ability to support distributed computation in environments with evolving data distributions. However, t…
Learning without Isolation: Pathway Protection for Continual Learning
Zhikang Chen, Abudukelimu Wuerkaixi, Sen Cui +10
Deep networks are prone to catastrophic forgetting during sequential task learning, i.e., losing the knowledge about old tasks upon learning new tasks. To this end, continual learn…
Accurate Forgetting for Heterogeneous Federated Continual Learning
Abudukelimu Wuerkaixi, Sen Cui, Jingfeng Zhang +6
Recent years have witnessed a burgeoning interest in federated learning (FL). However, the contexts in which clients engage in sequential learning remain under-explored. Bridging F…
