Study of a lifelong learning scenario for question answering

作者:

Highlights:

• Question Answering systems suffer over time several shifts in data distribution.

• Performance after learning a new dataset is sensitive to previous training sequences.

• We find a strategy to avoid the need of testing all possible training sequences.

• Random merge of new training material with previous one avoids performance drop.
