Catastrophic forgetting is a long-acknowledged challenge for neural networks. This phenomenon has become increasingly relevant as we move beyond static datasets towards AGI systems that learn online, from sequential experience. I will describe new learning methods that enable stable, data-efficient end-to-end learning while mitigating forgetting, and show how these methods can be used to train agents to navigate complex simulated environments.
