Cortex-Inspired Continual Learning: Unsupervised Instantiation and Recovery of Functional Task Networks
Kevin McKee, Thomas Hazy, Yicong Zheng +2
Block-sequential continual learning demands that a single model both protect prior solutions from catastrophic forgetting and efficiently infer at inference time which prior soluti…
Goal-Directed Search Outperforms Goal-Agnostic Memory Compression in Long-Context Memory Tasks
Yicong Zheng, Kevin L. McKee, Thomas Miconi +3
How to enable human-like long-term memory in large language models (LLMs) has been a central question for unlocking more general capabilities such as few-shot generalization. Exist…
Flexible Prefrontal Control over Hippocampal Episodic Memory for Goal-Directed Generalization
Yicong Zheng, Nora Wolf, Charan Ranganath +2
Many tasks require flexibly modifying perception and behavior based on current goals. Humans can retrieve episodic memories from days to years ago, using them to contextualize and…
Thinking agents for zero-shot generalization to qualitatively novel tasks
Thomas Miconi, Kevin McKee, Yicong Zheng +1
Intelligent organisms can solve truly novel problems which they have never encountered before, either in their lifetime or their evolution. An important component of this capacity…
