Solve the Continual Learning Problem

Create machine learning systems that can continuously learn new tasks without forgetting previously learned knowledge, similar to human lifelong learning. Current neural networks suffer from catastrophic forgetting - they lose performance on old tasks when trained on new ones. This fundamental limitation prevents ML systems from accumulating knowledge over time like humans do. The challenge involves developing architectures and training procedures that can integrate new knowledge while preserving old knowledge. Success would enable ML systems to become more capable over time rather than being limited to their initial training, leading to more adaptable and intelligent systems.
