Researchers have developed a new framework called BOFA (Bridge-layer Orthogonal Low-Rank Fusion for Adaptation) to improve Class-Incremental Learning (CIL) for vision-language models like CLIP. BOFA modifies only the existing cross-modal bridge-layer of CLIP, avoiding the need for additional parameters or increased inference costs. It uses Orthogonal Low-Rank Fusion to constrain parameter updates to a subspace that prevents forgetting previously learned tasks, eliminating the need for data replay. The framework also incorporates a cross-modal hybrid prototype to enhance classification performance. AI
