        abstract="In order to claim fully general intelligence in an
          autonomous agent, the ability to learn is one of the most
          central capabilities.  Classical machine learning techniques
          have had many significant empirical successes, but large
          real-world problems that are of interest to generally
          intelligent agents require learning much faster (with much
          less training experience) than is currently possible. This
          paper presents \emph{transfer learning}, where knowledge
          from a learned task can be used to significantly speed up
          learning in a novel task, as the key to achieving the
          learning capabilities necessary for general intelligence. In
          addition to motivating the need for transfer learning in an
          intelligent agent, we introduce a novel method for selecting
          types of tasks to be used for transfer and empirically
          demonstrate that such a selection can lead to significant
          increases in training speed in a two-player game.",
