Continual learning is the process of training machine learning models on a sequence of tasks where data distributions change over time. A well-known obstacle in this setting is catastrophic forgetting, a phenomenon in which a model…
Continual learning is the ability to acquire new knowledge without forgetting the previously learned one, assuming no further access to past training data. Neural network approximators trained with gradient descent are known to fail in this…
Forgetting is often seen as an unwanted characteristic in both human and machine learning. However, we propose that forgetting can in fact be favorable to learning. We introduce "forget-and-relearn" as a powerful paradigm for shaping the…
Catastrophic forgetting (CF) is a phenomenon that occurs in machine learning when a model forgets previously learned information while acquiring new knowledge for achieving a satisfactory performance in downstream tasks. As large language…
Deep neural networks are used in many state-of-the-art systems for machine perception. Once a network is trained to do a specific task, e.g., bird classification, it cannot easily be trained to do new tasks, e.g., incrementally learning to…
One goal of general intelligence is to learn novel information without overwriting prior learning. The utility of learning without forgetting (CF) is twofold: first, the system can return to previously learned tasks after learning something…

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 challenged, leading to the famous phenomenon of catastrophic…
Artificial neural networks suffer from catastrophic forgetting when they are sequentially trained on multiple tasks. To overcome this problem, we present a novel approach based on task-conditioned hypernetworks, i.e., networks that generate…
