For example, we cannot see every feature of the light field that reaches our eyes; temporal resolution is limited by transmission noise and delays,…

Speaker: Mengye Ren Title: Lifelong and Human-like Learning in Foundation Models Abstract: Real-world agents, including humans, learn from online, lifelong experiences. However, today’s foundation models primarily acquire knowledge through offline, iid learning, while relying on in-context learning for most online adaptation. It is crucial to equip foundation models with lifelong and human-like learning abilities to enable more flexible…
