A Probabilistic Framework for Modular Continual Learning

ICLR 2024poster

Modular approaches that use a different composition of modules for each problem are a promising direction in continual learning (CL). However, searching through the large, discrete space of module compositions is challenging, especially because evaluating a composition’s performance requires a round…

HOUDINI: Lifelong Learning as Program Synthesis

NeurIPS 2018poster

We present a neurosymbolic framework for the lifelong learning of algorithmic tasks that mix perception and procedural reasoning. Reusing high-level concepts across domains and learning complex procedures are key challenges in lifelong learning. We show that a program synthesis approach that combine…

VEEGAN: Reducing Mode Collapse in GANs using Implicit Variational Learning

NeurIPS 2017poster

Deep generative models provide powerful tools for distributions over complicated manifolds, such as those of natural images. But many of these methods, including generative adversarial networks (GANs), can be difficult to train, in part because they are prone to mode collapse, which means that they…
