How do you compute the Fisher when using EWC?
Different ways can be found in the continual learning literature, with the most-used one making rather crude approximations.
This has bothered me (and others!) for a long time, and I finally take this on in an ICLR blogpost: arxiv.org/abs/2502.11756

On the Computation of the Fisher Information in Continual Learning
One of the most popular methods for continual learning with deep neural networks is Elastic Weight Consolidation (EWC), which involves computing the Fisher Information. The exact way in which the Fish...

Why has continual ML not had its breakthrough yet?
In our new collaborative paper w/ many amazing authors, we argue that “Continual Learning Should Move Beyond Incremental Classification”!
We highlight 5 examples to show where CL algos can fail & pinpoint 3 key challenges

Does continual learning change when there is repetition in the data stream?

This is one of the most important arguments in the AI discourse, I think: With a large group of experts we explain why generalization of humans and machines works very differently. This is a fundamental points that has crucial implications for language models, as well: arxiv.org/abs/2411.15626
Aligning Generalisation Between Humans and Machines
Recent advances in AI -- including generative approaches -- have resulted in technology that can support humans in scientific discovery and decision support but may also disrupt democracies and target...

Is generalisation a process, an operation, or a product? 🤨
Read about the different ways generalisation is defined, parallels between humans & machines, methods & evaluation in our new paper: arxiv.org/abs/2411.15626
