The ideal continual learner: An agent that never forgets

L Peng, P Giampouras, R Vidal - … Conference on Machine …, 2023 - proceedings.mlr.press
The goal of continual learning is to find a model that solves multiple learning tasks which are
presented sequentially to the learner. A key challenge in this setting is that the learner may" …

Regularization shortcomings for continual learning

T Lesort, A Stoian, D Filliat - arXiv preprint arXiv:1912.03049, 2019 - arxiv.org
In most machine learning algorithms, training data is assumed to be independent and
identically distributed (iid). When it is not the case, the algorithm's performances are …

Continual learning beyond a single model

T Doan, SI Mirzadeh… - Conference on Lifelong …, 2023 - proceedings.mlr.press
A growing body of research in continual learning focuses on the catastrophic forgetting
problem. While many attempts have been made to alleviate this problem, the majority of the …

Theory on forgetting and generalization of continual learning

S Lin, P Ju, Y Liang, N Shroff - International Conference on …, 2023 - proceedings.mlr.press
Continual learning (CL), which aims to learn a sequence of tasks, has attracted significant
recent attention. However, most work has focused on the experimental performance of CL …

Formalizing the generalization-forgetting trade-off in continual learning

K Raghavan, P Balaprakash - Advances in Neural …, 2021 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We formulate the continual learning (CL) problem via dynamic programming and model the
trade-off between catastrophic forgetting and generalization as a two-player sequential …

[HTML][HTML] Is class-incremental enough for continual learning?

A Cossu, G Graffieti, L Pellegrini, D Maltoni… - Frontiers in Artificial …, 2022 - frontiersin.org
The ability of a model to learn continually can be empirically assessed in different continual
learning scenarios. Each scenario defines the constraints and the opportunities of the …

Continual learning and catastrophic forgetting

Z Chen, B Liu - Lifelong Machine Learning, 2018 - Springer
In the recent years, lifelong learning (LL) has attracted a great deal of attention in the deep
learning community, where it is often called continual learning. Though it is well-known that …

Three scenarios for continual learning

GM Van de Ven, AS Tolias - arXiv preprint arXiv:1904.07734, 2019 - arxiv.org
Standard artificial neural networks suffer from the well-known issue of catastrophic
forgetting, making continual or lifelong learning difficult for machine learning. In recent years …

Optimal continual learning has perfect memory and is np-hard

J Knoblauch, H Husain… - … Conference on Machine …, 2020 - proceedings.mlr.press
Continual Learning (CL) algorithms incrementally learn a predictor or representation across
multiple sequentially observed tasks. Designing CL algorithms that perform reliably and …

Toward understanding catastrophic forgetting in continual learning

CV Nguyen, A Achille, M Lam, T Hassner… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2019 - arxiv.org
We study the relationship between catastrophic forgetting and properties of task sequences.
In particular, given a sequence of tasks, we would like to understand which properties of this …
