Continual learning enables the incremental training of machine learning models on non-stationary data streams.While academic interest in the topic is high, there is little indication of the use of state-of-the-art continual learning algorithms in practical machine learning deployment. This paper presents Renate, a continual learning library designed to build real-world updating pipelines for PyTorch models. We discuss requirements for the use of continual learning algorithms in practice, from which we derive design principles for Renate. We give a high-level description of the library components and interfaces. Finally, we showcase the strengths of the library by presenting experimental results.
