Lifelong Learning from Event-based Data

Lifelong learning is a long-standing aim for artificial agents that act in dynamic environments, in which an agent needs to accumulate knowledge incrementally without forgetting previously learned representations. We investigate methods for learning from data produced by event cameras and compare techniques to mitigate forgetting while learning incrementally. We propose a model that is composed of both, feature extraction and continuous learning. Furthermore, we introduce a habituationbased method to mitigate forgetting. Our experimental results show that the combination of different techniques can help to avoid catastrophic forgetting while learning incrementally from the features provided by the extraction module.
