Can CTR be extended to CNN backbones?

Hello,
I admire your wonderful job Achieving Forgetting Prevention and Knowledge Transfer in Continual Learning and I want to extend the CTR method to CNN backbones with image datasets. Could it happen since I notice that it seems impossible in your baselines.md file.

Thank you so much for your interest. CTR is designed as a plugin for any pre-trained model.
That said, if you use a pre-trained model for your image datasets, CTR should be able to work. However, if you want to use a conventional CNN backbone from scratch, I am afraid there is no straightforward way to extend it.
