ACE-LoRA: Adaptive Orthogonal Decoupling for Continual Image Editing

State-of-the-art diffusion models often rely on parameter-efficient fine-tuning to perform specialized image editing tasks. However, real-world applications require continual adaptation to new tasks while preserving previously learned knowledge. Despite the practical necessity, continual learning for image editing remains largely underexplored. We propose ACE-LoRA, a dynamic regularization framework for continual image editing that effectively mitigates catastrophic forgetting. ACE-LoRA leverages Adaptive Orthogonal Decoupling to identify and orthogonalize task interference, and introduces a Rank-Invariant Historical Information Compression strategy to address scalability issues in continual updates. To facilitate continual learning in image editing and provide a standardized evaluation protocol, we introduce CIE-Bench, the first comprehensive benchmark in this domain. CIE-Bench encompasses diverse and practically relevant image editing scenarios with a balanced level of difficulty to effectively expose limitations of existing models while remaining compatible with parameter-efficient fine-tuning. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method consistently outperforms existing baselines in terms of instruction fidelity, visual realism, and robustness to forgetting, establishing a strong foundation for continual learning in image editing.

Octopus: History-Free Gradient Orthogonalization for Continual Learning in Multimodal Large Language Models

Continual learning in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) aims to sequentially acquire knowledge while mitigating catastrophic forgetting, yet existing methods face inherent limitations: architecture-based approaches incur additional computational overhead and often generalize poorly to new tasks, rehearsal-based methods rely on storing historical data, raising privacy and storage concerns, and conventional regularization-based strategies alone are insufficient to fully prevent parameter interference. We propose Octopus, a two-stage continual learning framework based on History-Free Gradient Orthogonalization (HiFGO), which enforces gradient-level orthogonality without historical task data. Our proposed two-stage finetuning strategy decouples task adaptation from regularization, achieving a principled balance between plasticity and stability. Experiments on UCIT show that Octopus establishes state-of-the-art performance, surpassing prior SOTA by 2.14% and 6.82% in terms of Avg and Last.

Video Prediction Transformers without Recurrence or Convolution

Video prediction has witnessed the emergence of RNN-based models led by ConvLSTM, and CNN-based models led by SimVP. Following the significant success of ViT, recent works have integrated ViT into both RNN and CNN frameworks, achieving improved performance. While we appreciate these prior approaches, we raise a fundamental question: Is there a simpler yet more effective solution that can eliminate the high computational cost of RNNs while addressing the limited receptive fields and poor generalization of CNNs? How far can it go with a simple pure transformer model for video prediction? In this paper, we propose PredFormer, a framework entirely based on Gated Transformers. We provide a comprehensive analysis of 3D Attention in the context of video prediction. Extensive experiments demonstrate that PredFormer delivers state-of-the-art performance across four standard benchmarks. The significant improvements in both accuracy and efficiency highlight the potential of PredFormer as a strong baseline for real-world video prediction applications. The source code and trained models will be released at https://github.com/yyyujintang/PredFormer.
