SynapNet: A Complementary Learning System Inspired Algorithm With Real-Time Application in Multimodal Perception.

Catastrophic forgetting is a phenomenon in which a neural network, upon learning a new task, struggles to maintain its performance on previously learned tasks. It is a common challenge in the realm of continual learning (CL) through neural networks. The mammalian brain addresses catastrophic forgetting by consolidating memories in different parts of the brain, involving the hippocampus and the neocortex.
