catastrophic forgetting deep learning

• making learning rate small for already learnt network
• Having old and new networks. The old weights do not change or get update less

People crowd simulation:

• generation of shadows
• steering people
• interaction between people like not overlapping with each other
• ability to walk jump fall etc..
• ability to choose gender, age, cloth color etc
• Reference1

List of ideas:

• Can we have a discriminator which learn progressively i.e. initially uses basic input samples to restrict the combinatorial search space. Then gradually feed finer and finer variations to adapt easily
• Can we use GAN based object generattion like small coffettis or lot of people kind of objects and encode them separately such tthat we can store the number and object and recreate them on the other side for decoders?
• Crown simulatitons for car orientation detection deep learning, car videos dataset, trees dataset
• pytorch3d to render outputs with known input and then learning a generator to approximate the output
• SPADE based image painting - bg generation and then add humans
