Natural Way to Overcome the Catastrophic Forgetting in Neural Networks
Alexey Kutalev
Not so long ago, a method was discovered that successfully overcomes the catastrophic forgetting in neural networks. Although we know about the cases of using this method to preserve skills when adapting pre-trained networks to particular tasks, it has not obtained widespread distribution yet. In this paper, we would like to propose an alternative method of overcoming catastrophic forgetting based on the total absolute signal passing through each connection in the network. This method has a simple implementation and seems to us essentially close to the processes occurring in the brain of animals to preserve previously learned skills during subsequent learning. We hope that the ease of implementation of this method will serve its wide application.
