Problem: current methods for training neural networks cannot learn continuously. Once they have been trained, they cannot easily learn new information. We propose a method to fix this problem. Our algorithm adds new neurons to the neural network which allows it to learn new information, while maintaining everything it already "knows". I showed this to my father, a surgeon, and he said he understood it. But not the original abstract.
