Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (LoRA family)
L2P
Superseded — cited as a baseline and beaten by newer methods
1 papers critique it · 7 beat it on benchmarks
What papers say
Verbatim critique sentences, each from a paper that cites L2P as a baseline.
a training trick is employed to mask out the classes not relevant to the current task. This trick contradicts the task-free OCL setting
Beaten on benchmarks
Head-to-head results where a newer method reports beating L2P. Values are copied from the source paper's tables — verify against the cited paper.
