NeuroSynth: A Biologically Inspired Continual Reinforcement Learning Architecture for Mitigating Catastrophic Forgetting

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

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.

Metaplasticity as adaptive gradient preconditioning for incremental learning

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.

The Art of Not Forgetting A Local Learning Architecture for Continual Learning

We introduce CMP (Cognitive Memory Primitive), a continual-learning architecture that repre? sents inputs as sparse relational codes, stores them in a two-tier competitive memory, and learns through local updates without end-to-end backpropagation through its feature-generating system.
