I recently started an AI-focused educational newsletter, that already has over 150,000 subscribers. TheSequence is a no-BS (meaning no hype, no news etc) ML-oriented newsletter that takes 5 minutes to read. The goal is to keep you up to date with machine learning projects, research papers and concepts. Please give it a try by subscribing below:

Continual learning is one of the most monumental challenges in modern machine learning(ML). The traditional paradigm in ML evolves around training( or pretraining these days) models with human intervention. From a practical standpoint, this paradigm causes models to be “stuck on time” in terms of knowledge at any given time. Continual learning is an emerging paradigm to build ML models that can incrementally improve their knowledge. One of the most innovative work in this space came from Amazon Science( Amazon’s research division) published in a 2019 paper proposing a…
