Query: Formalizing the Generalization-Forgetting Trade-off in Continual
  Learning   We formulate the continual learning (CL) problem via dynamic programming and
model the trade-off between catastrophic forgetting and generalization as a
two-player sequential game. In this approach, player 1 maximizes the cost due
to lack of generalization whereas player 2 minimizes the cost due to
catastrophic forgetting. We show theoretically that a balance point between the
two players exists for each task and that this point is stable (once the
balance is achieved, the two players stay at the balance point). Next, we
introduce balanced continual learning (BCL), which is designed to attain
balance between generalization and forgetting and empirically demonstrate that
BCL is comparable to or better than the state of the art.
