If pre-trained models can be reused when they have many things in common with a new task, we can significantly cut down the amount of required data. To achieve this goal, we adopt a neural continual learning algorithm to allow a conversational agent to accumulate skills across different tasks in a data-efficient way.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/accumulating-conversational-skills-using-continual-learning/}, }
