Online andContinual Learning

Rather than training a model once once once once and d freezing it, future receivers will employ online learning althmics that update the model increaminally as new data arrives.

For example, multiple receivers in different spins of thee te same link can collectively train a model that generalizes better to thee whole link, while proviting publicary data. This also reduces the data burden on any single node.
