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.

The paper introduces a compositional continual learning benchmark for world models in robot manipulation, designed to isolate knowledge reuse from learning speed and capacity. Tasks are curated to combine previously seen action and perception components, allowing analysis of how different modalities affect reuse. Experiments show that modular world models better balance reuse and forgetting than conventional methods, yet none fully solve the challenge, highlighting the need for models explicitly built to reuse knowledge without forgetting.
