Catastrophic forgetting arises when a neural network is not capable of preserving the past learned task when learning a new task. There are already some methods proposed to mitigate this problem in arti cial neural networks. In this paper we propose to improve upon our previous state-of-the-art method, SeNA-CNN, such as to enable the automatic recognition in test time of the task to be solved and we experimentally show that it has excellent results. The experiments show the learning of up to 4 di erent tasks with a single network, without forgetting how to solve previous learned tasks.
