DESCRIPTION:Efficient Representation Learning for Heterogeneous Systems and
  Continual Task AdaptationThis dissertation addresses the fundamental chal
 lenges of system heterogeneity and continual task adaptation by advancing 
 efficient fine-tuning and representation-learning strategies. It develops 
 adaptive frameworks that allow distributed models to continuously acquire 
 new knowledge&nbsp\;and align knowledge without succumbing to communicatio
 n bottlenecks or catastrophic forgetting.\n\nMore information at: https://
