Abstract

Lifelong learning is the ability of a software system to adapt to new situations during its lifetime. We explore how this paradigm can be applied to dialogue systems, how it might be implemented, and how we can evaluate the lifelong learning progress.

Notes

  1. 1.

    In recent literature, the distinction is made only between the first two classes of dialogue systems [1, 4, 7]. However, interactive question answering systems cannot be completely placed in either of the two categories.
