Shot Continual Learning
Shot continual learning (SCL) focuses on enabling artificial intelligence systems to learn new concepts from limited data ("few-shot") without forgetting previously acquired knowledge, a crucial aspect of lifelong learning. Current research emphasizes developing algorithms and model architectures that address the "catastrophic forgetting" problem, often employing techniques like prototype-based learning, meta-learning, and adaptive knowledge aggregation within various model types, including vision transformers and language models. This field is significant for advancing AI capabilities in resource-constrained environments and enabling more robust and adaptable systems across diverse applications such as robotics, remote sensing, and educational technology.
