Abstract
A system includes a processor for performing one or more autonomous driving or assisted driving tasks based on a neural network. The neural network includes a base portion for performing feature extraction simultaneously for a plurality of tasks on a single set of input data. The neural network includes a plurality of subtask portions for performing the plurality of tasks based on feature extraction output from the base portion. Each of the plurality of subtask portions comprise nodes or layers of a neutral network trained on different sets of training data, and the base portion comprises nodes or layers of a neural network trained using each of the different sets of training data constrained by elastic weight consolidation to limit the base portion from forgetting a previously learned task.
