We introduce a new training paradigm that enforces interval constraints on neural network parameter space to control forgetting. Contemporary Continual Learning (CL) methods focus on training neural networks efficiently from a stream of…

Block-sequential continual learning demands that a single model both protect prior solutions from catastrophic forgetting and efficiently infer at inference time which prior solution matches the current input without task labels. We present…
