  • Online Continual Learning with Dynamic Label Hierarchies

    published in

    Xinrui Wang, Shao-Yuan Li, Bartłomiej Twardowski, Alexandra Gomez-Villa, Songcan Chen Read Full Paper → Online Continual Learning (OCL) aims to learn from endless non\text{-}stationary data streams, yet most existing methods assume a flat label space and overlook the hierarchical organization of real\text{-}world concepts that evolves both horizontally (sibling classes) and vertically (coarse or fine categories). To better reflect this…

  • Less Precise Can Be More Reliable: A Systematic Evaluation of Quantization’s Impact on VLMs Beyond Accuracy

    published in

    Aymen Bouguerra, Daniel Montoya, Alexandra Gomez-Villa, Chokri Mraidha, Fabio Arnez Read Full Paper → Vision-Language Models (VLMs) such as CLIP have revolutionized zero-shot classification and safety-critical tasks, including Out-of-Distribution (OOD) detection. However, their high computational cost hinders efficient real-world deployment. While quantization is a standard solution for efficiency, its broader impact on reliability metrics beyond simple Top-1 accuracy remains…
