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.
arXiv:2607. 17944v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce CMP (Cognitive Memory Primitive), an architecture that represents inputs as sparse relational codes, stores them in a two-tier competitive memory, and learns entirely through local, gradient-free updates, with no backpropagation anywhere in the network.

arXiv:2608. 15854v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Catastrophic forgetting remains a fundamental obstacle to continual learning, where neural networks lose previously acquired knowledge while learning new tasks.

arXiv:2606. 01379v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While prompt-based parameter-efficient continual learning mitigates catastrophic forgetting by isolating task-specific prompts, this isolation also limits later tasks from improving earlier ones, leaving backward knowledge transfer underexplored.
