Title: Re-Evaluating Continual Learning with Few-Shot Adaptation

Abstract:
arXiv:2606.03843v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Continual learning methods aim to maximize the stability and plasticity of machine learning models that are trained on a sequence of tasks. The standard measure of stability (i.e., forgetting) is the 0-shot performance of a model on previously learned tasks, and plasticity, the performance on the most recently learned task. However, 0-shot evaluation does not fully measure a model or method's ability to retain learned information or adapt quickly
