To advance foundational AI, we must solve continual learning and catastrophic forgetting. New research by our team introduces Nested Learning (NL), a paradigm that views an ML model as a system of nested optimization problems. This approach unifies architecture and optimization,

We haven't tried yet, but you can probably build a neural network to play hide & seek with Neurorobot. #fens2024 #fensforum2024 @FENSorg
