Existing high-dimensional online learning methods often face the challenge that their error bounds, or per-batch sample sizes, diverge as the number of data batches increases. To address this issue, we propose an asynchronous decomposition…
When an agent acquires new information, ideally it would immediately be capable of using that information to understand its environment. This is not possible using conventional deep neural networks, which suffer from catastrophic forgetting…
