Abstract
We introduce a novel continual learning method based on multifidelity deep neural networks. This method learns the correlation between the output of previously trained models and the desired output of the model on the current training dataset, limiting catastrophic forgetting. On its own the multifidelity continual learning method shows robust results that limit forgetting across several datasets. Additionally, we show that the multifidelity method can be combined with existing continual learning methods, including replay and memory aware synapses, to further limit catastrophic forgetting. The proposed continual learning method is especially suited for physical problems where the data satisfy the same physical laws on each domain, or for physics-informed neural networks, because in these cases we expect there to be a strong correlation between the output of the previous model and the model on the current training domain.
期刊介绍:
Machine Learning Science and Technology is a multidisciplinary open access journal that bridges the application of machine learning across the sciences with advances in machine learning methods and theory as motivated by physical insights. Specifically, articles must fall into one of the following categories: advance the state of machine learning-driven applications in the sciences or make conceptual, methodological or theoretical advances in machine learning with applications to, inspiration from, or motivated by scientific problems.
