Abstract
In artificial intelligence, knowledge is the information required by an intelligent system to accomplish tasks. While traditional knowledge bases use discrete, symbolic representations, detecting knowledge encoded in the continuous representations learned from data has received increasing attention recently. In this work, we propose a method for building a continuous knowledge base that can store knowledge imported from multiple, diverse neural networks. The key idea of our approach is to define an interface for each neural network and cast knowledge transferring as a function simulation problem. Preliminary experiments on text classification show promising results: we first import the knowledge encoded in an RNN model and a CNN model to the knowledge base, from which the fused knowledge is exported back to the RNN model, achieving a higher classification accuracy than the original RNN model. With the continuous knowledge base, it is also easy to achieve knowledge distillation and transfer learning. Our work opens the door to building a universal continuous knowledge base to collect, store, and organize all continuous knowledge encoded in different neural networks trained for different AI tasks.
