ProtoAda: Prototype-Guided Adaptive Adapter Expansion for Multimodal Continual Instruction Tuning

ProtoAda is a new framework for Multimodal Continual Instruction Tuning (MCIT) that addresses a key failure mode in sparse Mixture-of-LoRA-Experts architectures: image-text similarity routing is format-blind and incorrectly merges tasks with similar semantics but different output structures (e.g., coordinate prediction vs. VQA). The method introduces format-aware task prototypes to guide both routing and adapter expansion, then consolidates compatible updates geometrically to reuse and refine existing parameters. Experiments across multiple benchmarks show improved performance, particularly on tasks whose answer formats are vulnerable to corruption by sequential fine-tuning.
