Online continual learning (OCL) seeks to learn new tasks from data streams that appear only once, while retaining knowledge of previously learned tasks. Most existing methods rely on replay, focusing on enhancing memory retention through…

Learning-enabled control systems increasingly rely on multiple sensing modalities (e.g., vision, audio, language, etc.) for perception and decision support. A key challenge is that multi-modal sensor training dynamics are often imbalanced:…
