Neuro-mimetic Task-free Unsupervised Online Learning with Continual Self-Organizing Maps
The major challenge that makes crafting such a system difficult is known as catastrophic forgetting - an agent, such as one based on artificial neural networks (ANNs), struggles to retain previously acquired knowledge when learning from new samples.

A Robust Backpropagation-Free Framework for Images
While current deep learning algorithms have been successful for a wide variety of artificial intelligence (AI) tasks, including those involving structured image data, they present deep neurophysiological conceptual issues due to their reliance on the gradients that are computed by backpropagation of errors (backprop).
