Abstract: I will begin with a brief introduction to, and open problems in, understanding neural networks and discuss several approaches to this problem. Further I will discuss the importance of continual learning for the field. Continual Learning, sometimes called life-long learning, never-ending learning or open-ended learning, is a topic that has been growing in popularity in the last few years. I will provide an overview of the problem, contrasting sequential learning to multi-task learning and highlight why multi-task learning can be in practice sub-optimal. I will discuss the main family of approaches to continual learning and discuss recent research in the field. Finally I will provide a few ideas of where the field might go in the near future and open the floor for discussion.
