    Abstract: A weight storage unit stores weights of a plurality of filters used to detect a feature of a task. A continual learning unit trains the weights of the filters in response to an input task in continual learning. A filter processing unit locks, of a plurality of filters that have learned one task, the weights of a proportion of the filters to prevent the proportion of the filters from being used to learn a further task and initializes the weights of other filters to use the other filters to learn a further task. A comparison unit compares the weights of a plurality of filters that have learned two or more tasks, extracts overlap filters having a similarity in weight over a threshold value as shared filters shared by tasks, leaves one of the overlap filters as the shared filter, and initializes the weights of filters other than the shared filter.
