• Abstract: Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) exhibit remarkable multi-tasking ability by learning mixed datasets jointly. However, novel tasks would be encountered sequentially in dynamic world, and continually fine-tuning LMMs often leads to performance degrades. To handle the challenges of catastrophic forgetting, existing methods leverage data replay or model expansion, both of which are not specially developed for LMMs and have their inherent limitations. In this paper, we propose a novel dual-modality guided prompt learning framework (ModalPrompt) tailored for multimodal continual learning to effectively learn new tasks while alleviating forgetting of previous knowledge. Concretely, we learn prototype prompts for each task and exploit efficient prompt selection for task identifiers and prompt fusion for knowledge transfer based on image-text supervision. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superiority of our approach, e.g., ModalPrompt achieves +20% performance gain on LMMs continual learning benchmarks with $\times$ 1.42 inference speed refraining from growing training cost in proportion to the number of tasks. The code will be made publically available.

  Existing methods rely heavily on modal-specific pretraining and joint-modal tuning, leading to significant computational burdens when expanding to new modalities. We propose PathWeave, a flexible and scalable framework with modal-Path sWitching and ExpAnsion abilities. PathWeave performs comparably to state-of-the-art MLLMs while concurrently reducing parameter training burdens by 98.73%.
