Sequential Domain Adaptation through Elastic Weight Consolidation for Sentiment Analysis

Understand

Elastic Weight Consolidation (EWC) is a technique used in overcoming catastrophic forgetting between successive tasks trained on a neural network.

• We use this phenomenon of information sharing between tasks for domain adaptation.
• Training data for tasks such as sentiment analysis (SA) may not be fairly represented across multiple domains.
• Domain Adaptation (DA) aims to build algorithms that leverage information from source domains to facilitate performance on an unseen target domain.
