New geometric framework for function-preserving continual learning unveiled

Researchers have introduced a novel function-preserving operator for continual learning called gate-zero growth. This method adds new residual blocks via a zero-initialized gate, which, under specific conditions, leads to rank separation in the functional Jacobian. This geometric framework allows for controlled functional drift and minimal forgetting of previously learned information, as demonstrated on a Transformer model adapted across WikiText-103 and BookCorpus datasets. The analysis also encompasses other techniques like LoRA and ReZero, positioning gate-zero growth as a fundamental mechanism for safely activating capacity in continual learning. AI
