Two new research papers address challenges in federated continual learning for multimodal large language models (MLLMs). The first paper introduces FedCMM, a framework designed to combat catastrophic forgetting in MLLMs by implementing modality-aware elastic weight consolidation, synthetic data generation for replay, and task-similarity-aware gradient aggregation. The second paper presents HERO, a benchmark library that standardizes evaluation for federated continual learning by separating task splits, client data splits, and client task orders, aiming to improve comparability and reproducibility across different FCL methods.
