Continual Learning is a technique where a computer program or artificial intelligence continuously learns new things without forgetting what it has previously learned.
Imagine learning something new every day but not forgetting what you learned before – that's how Continual Learning works for machines.
This is important because many AI models otherwise take in new information but lose previous abilities, which is called "forgetting."
With Continual Learning, computers can gradually accumulate more and more knowledge and respond flexibly to new tasks.
This technique is used, for example, in robots or voice assistants that are supposed to keep learning without losing their previous skills.
