Pre-trained Vision Mamba (Vim) models have demonstrated exceptional performance across various computer vision tasks in a computationally efficient manner, attributed to their unique design of selective state space models. To further extend their applicability to diverse downstream vision tasks, Vim models can be adapted using the efficient fine-tuning technique known as visual prompting. However, existing visual prompting methods are predominantly tailored for Vision Transformer (ViT)-based models that leverage global attention, neglecting the distinctive sequential token-wise compression and propagation characteristics of Vim. Specifically, existing prompt tokens prefixed to the sequence are insufficient to effectively activate the input and forget gates across the entire sequence, hindering the extraction and propagation of discriminative information. To address this limitation, we introduce a novel Selective Visual Prompting (SVP) method specifically for the efficient fine-tuning of Vim. To prevent the loss of discriminative information during state space propagation, SVP employs lightweight selective prompters for token-wise prompt generation, ensuring adaptive activation of the update and forget gates within Mamba blocks to promote discriminative information propagation. Moreover, considering that Vim propagates both shared cross-layer information and specific inner-layer information, we further refine SVP with a dual-path structure: Cross-Prompting and Inner-Prompting. Cross-Prompting utilizes shared parameters across layers, while Inner-Prompting employs distinct parameters, promoting the propagation of both shared and specific information, respectively. Extensive experimental results on various large-scale benchmarks demonstrate that our proposed SVP significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods. Our code will be released.

The recent large-scale pre-trained models like CLIP have aroused great concern in vision-language tasks. However, when required to match image-text data collected in a streaming manner, namely Continual Vision-Language Retrieval (CVRL), their performances are still limited due to the catastrophic forgetting of the learned old knowledge. To handle this issue, advanced methods are proposed to distill the affinity knowledge between images and texts from the old model to the new one for anti-forgetting. Unfortunately, existing approaches neglect the impact of incorrect affinity, which prevents the balance between the anti-forgetting of old knowledge and the acquisition of new knowledge. Therefore, we propose a novel framework called Dynamic Knowledge Rectification (DKR) that simultaneously achieves incorrect knowledge filtering and rectification. Specifically, we first filter the incorrect affinity knowledge calculated by the old model on the new data. Then, a knowledge rectification method is designed to rectify the incorrect affinities while preserving the correct ones. In particular, for the new data that can only be correctly retrieved by the new model, we rectify them with the corresponding new affinity to protect them from negative transfer. Additionally, for those that can not be retrieved by either the old or the new model, we introduce paired ground-truth labels to promote the acquisition of both old and new knowledge. Extensive experiments on several benchmark datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our DKR and its superiority against state-of-the-art methods.
