Memory Replay

Memory replay is a technique in machine learning designed to mitigate catastrophic forgetting, the phenomenon where neural networks lose previously learned knowledge when trained on new data. Current research focuses on improving memory replay methods for continual learning, particularly by developing efficient memory management strategies (e.g., using compressed data, prioritized sampling, or generative models to create synthetic memories), and addressing biases in memory selection and replay. These advancements are crucial for building robust and adaptable AI systems capable of lifelong learning, with applications ranging from robotics and natural language processing to reinforcement learning and computer vision.
