arXiv:2608. 02508v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learning-based memory systems for self-evolving LLM agents face two tightly coupled challenges.
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. 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. 08452v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In many real-world settings, data streams are nonstationary and arrive sequentially, requiring learning systems to adapt continuously without retraining from scratch.
arXiv:2505. 18347v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Continual reinforcement learning (RL) concerns agents that are expected to learn continually, rather than converge to a policy that is then fixed for evaluation.
The paper investigates continual reinforcement learning using neuroevolution, comparing evolution strategies (ES) and genetic algorithms (GAs) across diverse environments and network sizes. ES consistently achieves a better balance between stability and plasticity, while GAs are more plastic but forget more. The authors attribute this to ES finding wider neighborhoods in weight space, with overlap between consecutive tasks correlating with the stability-plasticity trade‑off, and note that common RL plasticity issues do not transfer to neuroevolution.
