Revolutionizing LLM Learning: Overcoming Catastrophic Forgetting with Evolutionary Strategies

This research delves into the exciting potential of Evolutionary Strategies (ES) for the continuous learning of Large Language Models (LLMs). The study offers a fascinating analysis of how ES, while promising for its efficiency, can lead to 'catastrophic forgetting,' a key challenge in the field. This investigation opens new avenues for researchers to enhance LLM adaptability.

• •The study investigates the use of Evolutionary Strategies (ES) in the continuous learning of LLMs.
• •ES offers potential for low-cost, gradient-free learning but faces the challenge of catastrophic forgetting.
• •The research compares ES with gradient-based methods, highlighting the trade-offs between efficiency and knowledge retention.
