• Abstract: Continual learning is essential for all real-world applications, as frozen pre-trained models cannot effectively deal with non-stationary data distributions. The purpose of this study is to review the state-of-the-art methods that allow continuous learning of computational models over time. We primarily focus on the learning algorithms that perform continuous learning in an online fashion from considerably large (or infinite) sequential data and require substantially low computational and memory resources. We critically analyze the key challenges associated with continual learning for autonomous real-world systems and compare current methods in terms of computations, memory, and network/model complexity. We also briefly describe the implementations of continuous learning algorithms under three main autonomous systems, i.e., self-driving vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles, and robotics. The learning methods of these autonomous systems and their strengths and limitations are extensively explored in this article.

  We propose a hardware-algorithm co-designed solution for continuous learning, DaCapo, that enables autonomous systems to perform concurrent executions of inference, labeling, and training. DaCapo achieves 6.5% and 5.5% higher accuracy than a state-of-the-art continuous learning systems, Ekya and EOMU, respectively, while consuming 254x less power.

  This paper introduces a pre-trained model-based continual learning toolbox known as PILOT. On the one hand, PILOT implements some state-of-the-art class-incremental learning algorithms based on pre-trained models, such as L2P, DualPrompt, and CODA-Prompt. On the other hand, PILOT fits typical class-incremental learning algorithms within the context of pre-trained models to evaluate their effectiveness.

  Reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms hold the promise of enabling autonomous skill acquisition for robotic systems. In practice, real-world robotic RL typically requires time consuming data collection and frequent human intervention to reset the environment. In this work, we study how these challenges can be tackled by effective utilization of diverse offline datasets collected from previously seen tasks.

  "Online" continual learning enables evaluating both information retention and online learning efficacy. In online continual learning, each incoming small batch of data is first used for testing and then added to the training set, making the problem truly online. We introduce a new benchmark for online continual visual learning that exhibits large scale and natural distribution shifts.

  We show that there is no general-purpose procedure for rigorously evaluating whether newly proposed models indeed successfully learn from data. For PAC binary classification, uniform and universal online learning, and exact learning through teacher-learner interactions, learnability is in general undecidable. There is no one-size-fits-all algorithm for deciding whether a machine learning model can be successful.

  Signal processing, communications, and control have traditionally relied on classical statistical modeling techniques. Deep neural networks (DNNs) use generic architectures which learn to operate from data, and demonstrate excellent performance. We are interested in hybrid techniques that combine principled mathematical models with data-driven systems to benefit from the advantages of both approaches.
