Academic Achievements
  • Proposed the influential “three scenarios” framework for continual learning
  • Provided proof-of-principle that generative classification is effective for class-incremental learning
  • Identified the “stability gap”—a phenomenon where deep neural networks exhibit substantial but temporary forgetting when learning new tasks
  • Developed the brain-inspired replay method to mitigate catastrophic forgetting by replaying self-generated abstract memory representations
  • Award-winning PhD dissertation
Background
  • Assistant Professor at the Bernoulli Institute for Mathematics, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, University of Groningen
  • Research at the intersection of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and cognitive science
  • Aims to understand the computational principles of continual learning—a crucial skill for both artificial and biological agents
  • Conducts research through conceptual analysis, computational modeling, deep neural network implementations, and collaborations with experimental labs
  • Interested in using insights from neuroscience to make deep neural networks behave more human-like
