Retraining as Approximate Bayesian Inference

📰 ArXiv cs.AI

Model retraining can be viewed as approximate Bayesian inference under computational constraints

advanced Published 27 Mar 2026
Action Steps
  1. Reframe model retraining as a cost minimization problem
  2. Identify the gap between the continuously updated belief state and the frozen deployed model as 'learning debt'
  3. Use the loss function to determine the threshold for retraining
  4. Apply approximate Bayesian inference to update the model under computational constraints
Who Needs to Know This
