Researchers have developed a new architecture called Cognitive Memory Primitive (CMP) that aims to combat catastrophic forgetting in AI models. Unlike traditional methods that rely on backpropagation and add-on fixes, CMP uses a gradient-free, local learning rule and stores inputs as sparse relational codes. In experiments on 15 text domains, CMP demonstrated significantly better backward transfer compared to a Transformer model trained with online EWC, showing a 15-19x improvement. However, the architecture also exhibited a notable accuracy gap against the Transformer baseline and failed to improve performance on a vision benchmark. AI
