What is catastrophic forgetting in neural networks?

Correct! Well done.

Incorrect.

The correct answer is B) The tendency of neural networks to forget previously learned tasks when trained sequentially on new tasks, as new weights overwrite old task knowledge

B

Correct Answer

The tendency of neural networks to forget previously learned tasks when trained sequentially on new tasks, as new weights overwrite old task knowledge

Explanation

Catastrophic forgetting (McCloskey 1989) is the main challenge in continual/lifelong learning. Solutions: EWC (penalize changes to important weights), replay buffers (mix old and new data), modular networks, PackNet (parameter isolation).
