what is the meaning of "continuous evolution"? It is not clearly to figure out the differences between the proposed "continuous evolution" and the usual evolution algorithm. Thanks for any help.

@csuwoshikunge Each individual in the next generation produced by the EA algorithm does not train from scratch. In contract, all the individuals in the generation share parameters and inherit trained parameters from the previous generation.
