Abstract: Learning continually from non-stationary data streams is a long-standing goal and a challenging problem in machine learning. Recently, we have witnessed a renewed and fast-growing interest in continual learning, especially within the deep learning community. However, algorithmic solutions are often difficult to re-implement, evaluate and port across different settings, where even results on standard benchmarks are hard to reproduce. In this talk we present Avalanche, an open-source end-to-end library for continual learning R&D based on PyTorch. Avalanche is designed to provide a shared and collaborative codebase for fast prototyping, training, and reproducible evaluation of continual learning algorithms. Finally, we will discuss possible applications of such techniques in the real-world as well as future challenges in continual learning research that Avalanche may help us tackle.
