James Kirkpatrick
Machine Learning Director at Isomorphic Labs
Kirkpatrick co-developed a method that helps AI learn new tasks without erasing earlier skills. His paper “Overcoming catastrophic forgetting in neural networks” showed how protecting important parts of a model could preserve old knowledge. He also co-authored Progressive Neural Networks, which reuse earlier skills when learning new ones.
