Is Prompt Selection Necessary for Task-Free Online Continual Learning?

arXiv:2604.04420v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Task-free online continual learning has recently emerged as a realistic paradigm for addressing continual learning in dynamic, real-world environments, where data arrive in a non-stationary stream without clear task boundaries and can only be observed once. To consider such challenging scenarios, many recent approaches have employed prompt selection, an adaptive strategy that selects prompts from a pool based on input signals. However, we observe
