A novel approach to continual learning is presented, addressing the limitations of traditional prompt selection methods. The proposed Prompt Customization (PC) method consists of a Prompt Generation Module (PGM) and a Prompt Modulation Module (PMM). PGM generates tailored prompts by assigning coefficients to prompts from a fixed-sized pool, while PMM modulates the prompts based on correlations between input data and corresponding prompts. Experimental results on four benchmark datasets demonstrate consistent improvement over state-of-the-art techniques, with up to 16.2% better performance.

Continual learning is a way for machines to keep getting better as they learn more things. Usually, this involves giving the machine a list of questions or tasks to solve, but this approach has some problems. One issue is that the machine might get confused by random or noisy inputs. To fix this, researchers came up with a new method called Prompt Customization (PC). This method uses two parts: one that generates prompts and another that adjusts them based on what the machine is learning. They tested this method on four different sets of data and found that it worked better than other methods, improving performance by as much as 16.2%.
