用稀疏组合专家池实现高效视觉语言持续学习,大幅减少参数量。

Decomposing and Composing: Towards Efficient Vision-Language Continual Learning via Rank-1 Expert Pool in a Single LoRA

  • 将LoRA拆分为可动态选择的秩-1专家池,按语义选更新
  • 训练参数减少96.7%,性能超越零样本上限
  • 无需外部数据或任务标识,适合资源受限场景

视觉语言模型的持续学习面临任务适应性差和灾难性遗忘问题。现有方法通常推理开销大或依赖外部知识,而低秩适配(LoRA)虽具参数效率潜力,但直接缓解遗忘仍具挑战。本文提出新框架,将单个LoRA模块重构为可分解的秩-1专家池,通过[CLS] token语义动态组合稀疏、任务特异的更新。同时引入激活引导正交损失(AGO),使不同任务间关键LoRA权重正交化。该稀疏组合与正交化策略显著减少参数更新,实现领域感知学习,最小化任务干扰并保持下游性能。多组实验表明,本方法在所有指标上达领先水平,超越零样本上界;相比基线减少96.7%可训练参数,无需外部数据集或任务-ID判别器。合并后的LoRAs保留更少权重且无推理延迟,计算轻量。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Continual learning (CL) in vision-language models (VLMs) faces significant challenges in improving task adaptation and avoiding catastrophic forgetting. Existing methods usually have heavy inference burden or rely on external knowledge, while Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) has shown potential in reducing these issues by enabling parameter-efficient tuning. However, considering directly using LoRA to alleviate the catastrophic forgetting problem is non-trivial, we introduce a novel framework that restructures a single LoRA module as a decomposable Rank-1 Expert Pool. Our method learns to dynamically compose a sparse, task-specific update by selecting from this expert pool, guided by the semantics of the [CLS] token. In addition, we propose an Activation-Guided Orthogonal (AGO) loss that orthogonalizes critical parts of LoRA weights across tasks. This sparse composition and orthogonalization enable fewer parameter updates, resulting in domain-aware learning while minimizing inter-task interference and maintaining downstream task performance. Extensive experiments across multiple settings demonstrate state-of-the-art results in all metrics, surpassing zero-shot upper bounds in generalization. Notably, it reduces trainable parameters by 96.7% compared to the baseline method, eliminating reliance on external datasets or task-ID discriminators. The merged LoRAs retain less weights and incur no inference latency, making our method computationally lightweight.
