Researchers Debate Continual Learning Terminology

Rohan Anil posted that the field calls training continual learning only because others hijacked the word learning for static methods. He credited the point to Rich Sutton and closed with the line let the learning be continual. Will Brown replied that online learning would have been the natural term if the internet had not existed. Both researchers work on large scale training systems and posted the exchange in public view. The posts contain no further details on methods or outcomes beyond the terminology exchange.
