In the pursuit of more robust and adaptable AI agents, the concept of continual learning is paramount. Soheil Feizi, Founder & Chief Scientist at RELAI and Associate Professor in Computer Science at the University of Maryland, recently delved into this critical area. His presentation, “Continual Learning for AI Agents: From Failures to Durable Improvements,” outlined the challenges and principles behind building AI agents that can learn and improve over time without regressions.

The Core of Continual Learning for AI Agents
Feizi began by drawing a parallel between human learning and the desired capabilities of AI agents. Humans learn from experience by interacting with the world and receiving feedback, a cycle that AI agents should ideally emulate. The goal of continual learning for AI agents is to enable them to continuously improve from their experiences without forgetting what they have already learned.
He identified two fundamental challenges in achieving this: first, how to effectively get feedback on an agent’s performance, and second, how to act upon that feedback to optimize the agent. In production environments, raw logs are not enough; they need to be transformed into actionable feedback. This can be achieved either through automated analysis by LLMs or code, or through critical human feedback from domain experts.
