When learning tasks over time, artificial neural networks suffer from a problem known as Catastrophic Forgetting (CF). This happens when the weights of a network are overwritten during the training of a new task causing forgetting of old information. To address this issue, we propose MetA Reusable Knowledge or MARK, a new method that fosters weight reusability instead of overwriting when learning a new task. Specifically, MARK keeps a set of shared weights among tasks. We envision these shared weights as a common Knowledge Base (KB) that is not only used to learn new tasks, but also enriched with new knowledge as the model learns new tasks.

As Tina walks onto the stage in front of hundreds of people she is beaming. She's collecting her British Sign Language (BSL) certificate which is the culmination of a journey that began with tragedy.

Feeld Notes is a column about a middle-aged woman who suddenly realizes she wants to have sex again--and the beguiling app she uses to do it. Men are disappearing on me all the time on this fucking app. Within the first six weeks of my time on Feeld, I'd had some fun, but I'd also been flaked on or ghosted no fewer than six times. There was one guy, Mike, a short, brown-haired, 33-year-old writer who described himself as a "dom" and promised to show me the ropes around domination and submission. I spent a few steamy nights chatting with him on WhatsApp, then made a plan to meet up with him on a Friday night.

In a recent episode at Mind Matters News podcasting, "Can a computer be a person?" Wesley J. Smith: Let me ask the question in a different way. Can an AI ever be irrational?
