arXiv:2606. 30669v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Backpropagation-trained dense neural networks are powerful function approximators, but they couple learning across many parameters and can overwrite previous associations when tasks conflict.
arXiv:2608. 04358v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Continual learning (CL) requires models to learn tasks sequentially, yet deep neural networks often suffer from plasticity loss and poor knowledge transfer, which can impede their long-term adaptability.
arXiv:2608. 14634v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Biological intelligence naturally prevents catastrophic forgetting through Complementary Learning Systems (CLS) theory, a macroscopic consolidation process driven at the local level by synaptic metaplasticity: the continuous, history-dependent neuromodulation of individual synapses.
arXiv:2606. 31700v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Biological neural circuits obey Dale's principle: each neuron's synapses are uniformly excitatory or inhibitory.
arXiv:2604. 27031v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In a continual learning setting, we require a model to be plastic enough to learn a new task and stable enough to not disturb previously learned capabilities.
arXiv:2608. 11690v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Continual learning must absorb new tasks without erasing old ones, and replay---mixing a small buffer of past examples into current training---is among the most effective remedies for catastrophic forgetting.
arXiv:2608. 06963v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Biologically plausible learning models aim to explain how neural circuits can implement effective learning under the constraints of real neurons.
arXiv:2607. 26523v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce CMP (Cognitive Memory Primitive), a continual-learning architecture that repre?
arXiv:2602. 18131v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Temporal Predictive Coding provides a layer-local, parallelisable mechanism for learning in recurrent systems, making it an attractive candidate for online local learning on neuromorphic and edge hardware.
arXiv:2507. 14056v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent work in continual learning has highlighted the stability gap -- a temporary performance drop on previously learned tasks when new ones are introduced.
arXiv:2601. 18699v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Sequential fine-tuning of Large Language Models (LLMs) adaptation to target tasks often triggers catastrophic forgetting, where the acquisition of novel target skills degrades ancestral capabilities.
arXiv:2512. 12713v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Control policies are often implemented with fixed-capacity multilayer perceptrons trained by backpropagation, which require architecture selection in advance and cannot adapt their capacity during learning.
arXiv:2604. 00533v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) generalize across tasks through reusable representations and flexible reasoning, yet remain brittle in real deployment when faced with evolving tasks and continual distribution shift.
