FALCON-SFOD addresses this by using foundation-model priors to restore foreground-focused feature representations, leading to more robust source-free adaptation.
๐ข[CVPR '26] What really breaks under domain shift in source-free object detection? We show, for the first time, that detectors often lose object focus and start activating on background clutter in the feature space.

Paper titled "Transitioning Heads Conundrum: The Hidden Bottleneck in Long-Tailed Class-Incremental Learning" has been accepted at TMLR 2026 (Transactions on Machine Learning Research).
Authors: Rahul Vigneswaran, Hari Chandana Kuchibhotla, Vineeth N Balasubramanian
๐ Congratulations to all the authors!
๐ Key Highlight:
This work introduces DEREK (DEcoupling Representations for Early Knowledge Distillation), a method addressing a previously overlooked challenge in Long-Tailed Class-Incremental Learning (LTCIL): the Transitioning Heads Conundrum.
In LTCIL, head classes that are well-represented in earlier tasks become tail classes in subsequent tasks due to memory constraints, leading to accelerated catastrophic forgetting. DEREK mitigates this by decoupling head and tail learning via specialized expert networks and applying Early Knowledge Distillation before data constraints take effect, preserving rich representations.
Across 2 LTCIL benchmarks, 12 experimental settings, and 24 baselines, DEREK consistently establishes new state-of-the-art performance.

Hearty congratulations to all authors: @AgrawalSus35924, Krishn V Kher, Saksham Mittal, @swarniminloop, @nbvineeth. The authors will be presenting it at NeurIPS 2025 this December.
MIRA combines Hopfield-style associative memory with lightweight adapters, enabling a single model to tackle domain generalization, continual learning, and class-incremental learning, achieving state-of-the-art performance across multiple benchmarks.
