arXiv:2603. 24350v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A key challenge to understanding self-awareness has been a principled way of quantifying whether an intelligent system has a concept of a "self", and if so how to differentiate the "self" from other cognitive structures.
arXiv:2608. 13600v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study Evolution Strategies (ES) for continual control, where agents must adapt to changing tasks without forgetting previous ones.
arXiv:2608. 17209v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: End-to-end vision-language-action (VLA) and world-action models offer an elegant route to general-purpose robotics, but their reliability is bounded by validated physical coverage.
arXiv:2606. 00880v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Continual reinforcement learning aims to produce agents that learn not only to improve at their current tasks but also to adapt as task distributions change.
arXiv:2606. 03598v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have achieved remarkable success in language-conditioned robotic manipulation.
arXiv:2606. 26183v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Building a generalist robot that can leverage prior knowledge for continuous task adaptation remains a significant challenge.
arXiv:2606. 19752v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-horizon robot manipulation policies trained with reward shaping can still exploit dense rewards through inefficient interaction, while rare efficient behaviors may be forgotten during training.
arXiv:2606. 17889v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Compositional learning systems must balance plasticity, the ability to acquire new knowledge, with stability, the preservation of previously learned components, especially when tasks share structure and risk interference.
arXiv:2606. 03843v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Continual learning methods aim to maximize the stability and plasticity of machine learning models that are trained on a sequence of tasks.
arXiv:2607. 28663v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems often perform well on isolated tasks but struggle under continual learning conditions, where training on new tasks can overwrite previously acquired knowledge, a failure mode known as catastrophic forgetting.
arXiv:2608. 01475v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural networks that can grow or both grow and shrink during learning, referred to as growing neural networks and elastic neural networks, respectively, have recently been explored in offline continual learning with a particular focus on catastrophic forgetting.
arXiv:2603. 11653v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Continual Reinforcement Learning (CRL) for Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models is a promising direction toward self-improving embodied agents that can adapt in openended, evolving environments.
arXiv:2606. 08447v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: One of the critical limitations of artificial neural networks is their lack of ability to continually learn: training on new tasks often leads to interference and forgetting of the previous ones.
