• Abstract: Most existing forecasting systems are memory-based methods, which attempt to mimic human forecasting ability by employing various memory mechanisms and have progressed in temporal modeling for memory dependency. Nevertheless, an obvious weakness of this paradigm is that it can only model limited historical dependence and can not transcend the past. In this paper, we rethink the temporal dependence of event evolution and propose a novel memory-anticipation-based paradigm to model an entire temporal structure, including the past, present, and future. Based on this idea, we present Memory-and-Anticipation Transformer (MAT), a memory-anticipation-based approach, to address the online action detection and anticipation tasks. In addition, owing to the inherent superiority of MAT, it can process online action detection and anticipation tasks in a unified manner. The proposed MAT model is tested on four challenging benchmarks TVSeries, THUMOS'14, HDD, and EPIC-Kitchens-100, for online action detection and anticipation tasks, and it significantly outperforms all existing methods.

  We propose textitPredictive Attractor Models (PAM), a novel sequence memory architecture with desirable generative properties. PAM avoids catastrophic forgetting by uniquely representing past context through lateral inhibition in cortical minicolumns. We show that PAM is trained with local computations through Hebbian plasticity rules in a biologically plausible framework.

  Understanding memorisation in language models has practical and societal implications. Memorisation is the causal effect of training with an instance on the model's ability to predict that instance. This paper proposes a new, principled, and efficient method to estimate memorisation based on the difference-in-differences design from econometrics.

  episodic memory optimization for meta-learning, we call EMO, is inspired by the human ability to recall past learning experiences from the brain's memory. EMO nudges parameter updates in the right direction, even when the gradients provided by a limited number of examples are uninformative. EMO scales well with most few-shot classification benchmarks and improves the performance of optimization-based meta-learning methods.

  We study class-incremental learning, a training setup in which new classes of data are observed over time for the model to learn from. Despite the straightforward problem formulation, the naive application of classification models to class-incremental learning results in the "catastrophic forgetting" of previously seen classes. One of the most successful existing methods has been the use of a memory of exemplars, which overcomes the issue of catastrophic forgetting by saving a subset of past data into a memory bank and utilizing it to prevent forgetting when training future tasks.
