ContinualAI/avalanche v0.3.0

Beta v0.3.0

on GitHub

Improved performance for several benchmarks:

• Permuted MNIST #1129
• Online Continual Learning scenarios #1217
  Refactoring of the AvalancheDataset (see related how-to)
• better support for non-vision data such as Huggingface datasets (see nlp.py)
• optional task labels and class labels
• performance improvements
  New strategies:
• BiC #1193
• MER #1227
• MIR #1201
• ER-ACE
  General strategy improvements:
• general meta-learning support
• Checkpointing support
  Continual-Learning-Baselines: increased number of baselines and fixed most of the performance issues. All the new strategies will be reproduced at continual-learning-baselines.
