SUMMARY:ARNI Continual Learning Working Group Spring Opening Meeting
DESCRIPTION:From: Tom Zollo\n\n\n\n\n\nIn Y2\, the aim is to use this working group as a launchpad for a larger ARNI continual learning project (which we hope to spawn multiple subprojects and papers).  We hope for this group to tackle issues that are relevant to both modern practitioners and the ARNI mission of connecting artificial and natural intelligence.\n\nAs a potential topic for this project\, we think we might consider the problem of long and short term memory in LLMs.  There has been recent interest from industry labs\, e.g. Google (paper link) and Meta (paper link)\, in fitting an LLM with a long-term neural memory module to complement the short-term memory given by the context window.  Several threads relevant to ARNI could extend from this research direction.  For instance\, we might consider cognitively-inspired benchmarks for LLM memory systems for lifelong learning\, e.g.\, based on human-like tasks that might be difficult for autoregressive models.  Also\, we could explore methodological work in LLM memory mechanisms based on our understanding of natural intelligence.  We are particularly interested in learning about relevant studies in neuroscience and cognitive science that could help constrain and inspire the methodological approaches.  Beyond these\, one could imagine many other related directions of interest to ARNI.\n\n\nZoom: https://columbiauniversity.zoom.us/j/99160043324?pwd=1BvBZBeyB3b8da74wuLsgPCabCVudL.1
