Continual Learning Based on OOD Detection and Task Masking
Existing continual learning techniques focus on either task incremental learning (TIL) or class incremental learning (CIL) problem, but not both. CIL and TIL differ mainly in that the task-id is provided for each test sample during testing for TIL, but not provided for CIL. Continual learning methods intended for one problem have limitations on the other problem. This paper proposes a novel unified approach based on out-of-distribution (OOD) detection and task masking, called CLOM, to solve both problems. The key novelty is that each task is trained as an OOD detection model rather than a traditional supervised learning model, and a task mask is trained to protect each task to prevent forgetting. Our evaluation shows that CLOM outperforms existing state-of-the-art baselines by large margins. The average TIL/CIL accuracy of CLOM over six experiments is 87.6/67.9% while that of the best baselines is only 82.4/55.0%.

Linguistic Entity Masking to Improve Cross-Lingual Representation of Multilingual Language Models for Low-Resource Languages
Multilingual Pre-trained Language models (multiPLMs), trained on the Masked Language Modelling (MLM) objective are commonly being used for cross-lingual tasks such as bitext mining. However, the performance of these mode…
