The field of vision-language models and adaptive learning is rapidly evolving, with a focus on improving model robustness, efficiency, and generalization capabilities. Recent developments have led to the introduction of novel activation functions, such as SG-Blend, which combines the strengths of Swish and GELU to achieve more robust neural representations. Additionally, proxy-based methods like Proxy-FDA have been proposed to mitigate concept forgetting in fine-tuning vision foundation models. Researchers have also explored adaptive model updates under constrained resource budgets, such as RCCDA, which optimizes model training dynamics while ensuring strict compliance to predefined resource constraints. Furthermore, vision-language models have been improved with the introduction of methods like GeoVision Labeler, which enables zero-shot geospatial classification, and OASIS, an adaptive online sample selection approach for continual visual instruction tuning. Noteworthy papers include SG-Blend, which achieves state-of-the-art performance on various tasks, and Proxy-FDA, which significantly reduces concept forgetting during fine-tuning.
