Exploring Continual Learning of Compositional Generalization in NLI

Code and Data for the TACL paper (to appear) Exploring Continual Learning of Compositional Generalization in NLI

We introduce the Continual Compositional Generalization in Inference (C2Gen NLI) challenge, where a model continuously acquires knowledge of constituting primitive inference tasks as a basis for compositional inferences. We explore how continual learning affects compositional generalization in NLI, by designing a continual learning setup for compositional NLI inference tasks.
