Overview
About the project
One of the most impressive abilities of human beings is the incremental learning ability. Since birth, we are always learning continuously without forgetting previously acquired knowledge that is useful for us. Could you imagine the amount of real-world applications that could be developed if we extended this human ability to modern-day AI systems (especially deep neural networks)? Modern deep neural networks adapt their parameters based on large-scale datasets to achieve state-of-the-art performance on specific computer vision tasks. However, due to legal and technical constraints and huge label diversity, deep learning models in real-world scenarios would rarely be trained just once time. Instead, they could be trained sequentially in several disjoint computer vision tasks without considering the data from previous tasks
The Next Generation Continual Learning (Internship) project is offered at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST)

- A novel memory sampling strategy that learns to select a different number of relevant frames per video to reduce memory consumption while the performance remains almost the same;
- Novel training techniques/schemes to reduce forgetting.
- Benchmarking different continual learning methods on more practical metrics.

Student insurance
Make sure to cover your health, travel, and stay while studying abroad. Even global coverages can miss important items, so make sure your student insurance ticks all the following:
- Additional medical costs (i.e. dental)
- Repatriation, if something happens to you or your family
- Liability
- Home contents and baggage
- Accidents
- Legal aid
We partnered with Aon to provide you with the best affordable student insurance, for a carefree experience away from home.
