Abstract

Lifelong machine learning is a novel machine learning paradigm which can continually accumulate knowledge during learning. The knowledge extracting and reusing abilities enable the lifelong machine learning to solve the related problems. The traditional approaches like Naïve Bayes and some neural network based approaches only aim to achieve the best performance upon a single task. Unlike them, the lifelong machine learning in this paper focus on how to accumulate knowledge during learning and leverage them for the further tasks. Meanwhile, the demand for labeled data for training also be significantly decreased with the knowledge reusing. This paper suggests that the aim of the lifelong learning is to use less labeled data and computational cost to achieve the performance as well as or even better than the supervised learning.
