Despite the growing interest in continual learning, most of its contemporary works have been studied in a rather restricted setting where tasks are clearly distinguishable, and task boundaries are known during training.

Learning a set of tasks over time, also known as continual learning (CL), is one of the most challenging problems in artificial intelligence. While recent approaches achieve some degree of CL in deep neural networks, they either (1) grow the network parameters linearly with the number of tasks, (2) require storing trai…

Continual learning is the ability to sequentially learn over time by accommodating knowledge while retaining previously learned experiences.
