 Education
 Hierarchical curriculum
 Learning tasks share common stimulus-response elements
 Abstract problem-solving
 Learning tasks share general underlying principles
 Multilingualism
 Knowing one language affects learning in another
 Transfer can be both positive and negative

 Machine learning is often designed in standalone tasks
 Transfer is a natural learning ability that we would like
to incorporate into machine learners
 There are some successes, but challenges remain, like
avoiding negative transfer and automating mapping
