• Abstract: In continual learning, the learner learns multiple tasks in sequence, with data being acquired only once for each task. Catastrophic forgetting is a major challenge to continual learning. To reduce forgetting, some existing rehearsal-based methods use episodic memory to replay samples of previous tasks. However, in the process of knowledge integration when learning a new task, this strategy also suffers from catastrophic forgetting due to an imbalance between old and new knowledge. To address this problem, we propose a novel replay strategy called Manifold Expansion Replay (MaER). We argue that expanding the implicit manifold of the knowledge representation in the episodic memory helps to improve the robustness and expressiveness of the model. To this end, we propose a greedy strategy to keep increasing the diameter of the implicit manifold represented by the knowledge in the buffer during memory management. In addition, we introduce Wasserstein distance instead of cross entropy as distillation loss to preserve previous knowledge. With extensive experimental validation on MNIST, CIFAR10, CIFAR100, and TinyImageNet, we show that the proposed method significantly improves the accuracy in continual learning setup, outperforming the state of the arts.

  In continual learning, previous knowledge is forgotten when a model learns new tasks. In this paper, we tried to solve this problem by acquiring transferable knowledge through self-distillation. Our proposed method outperformed conventional methods by experiments on CIFAR10, CIFAR100, and MiniimageNet datasets.

  Existing lifelong event detection methods typically maintain a memory module and replay the stored memory data during the learning of a new task. The simple combination of memory data and new-task samples can still result in substantial forgetting of previously acquired knowledge. We propose a novel method based on embedding space separation and compaction.

  Deep learning systems are prone to catastrophic forgetting when learning from a sequence of tasks. To mitigate the problem, a line of methods propose to replay the data of experienced tasks when learning new tasks. However, it is not expected in practice considering the memory constraint or data privacy issue. As a replacement, data-free data replay methods are proposed by inverting samples from the classification model.

  Continual Learning (CL) methods aim to enable machine learning models to learn new tasks without catastrophic forgetting of those that have been previously mastered. Existing CL approaches often keep a buffer of previously-seen samples, perform knowledge distillation, or use regularization techniques towards this goal. We propose to only activate and select sparse neurons for learning current and past tasks at any stage.
