| Challenge: | Current intelligent systems need the expensive support of machine learning experts to sustain their performance level when used on a daily basis. |
| Approach: | They propose a generic evaluation methodology for lifelong learning systems . they use "initialisation data" to refer to the set of training, development and test data together . |
| Outcome: | The proposed evaluation method is based on the evaluation of human-assisted learning outside the context of lifelong learning. |
