Abstract

Continual learning, as a special machine learning paradigm that continuously learns new tasks in non-stationary data streams and can maintain the performance of old tasks, is a hot research topic in fields such as visual computing and autonomous robotics, but at this stage, the catastrophic forgetting problem is still a great challenge for continuous learning. This paper conducted a review study on the catastrophic forgetting problem of continual learning, analyzed the mechanism of catastrophic forgetting problem mitigation and explored the catastrophic forgetting problem solving strategies at three levels, included regularization strategy, replay strategy, dynamic architecture strategy and joint strategy, in terms of model parameters, training data and network architecture. According to the existing literature, this paper condensed the evaluation index of the catastrophic forgetting method and compared the performance of solving strategies for different catastrophic forgetting problems. Finally, it pointed out the future research direction of continual learning, to provide references for the study of continuous learning catastrophic forgetting problems.
