Is it possible update model without retraining?

[ecofee]

Hello.

1, I want to update stored model after read it. I don't want to retrain whole data. How can I do this?
2. Can I load data from c# collection or just string for generate model, not file or stream?

Hi @ecofee just clarifying, are you talking about online learning? Or some other scenario?

Hi~ @TomFinley
Yes. It could be one of the scenarios. I want to update model with newly inserted records in database, not whole records every time when I try to retrain sometimes. It could be real time or not. So, I want to know how can I do this.

And I convert records from database into text file for training. I think this is inefficient. So, I hope I had another options like training from String, Collections. Maybe I could be mistaken about that.

Regarding the first question, no, sorry. The underlying code supports it for a few learners, but this sort of graph composition layer does not. So we're somewhat out of luck at the moment.

Regarding the second question, about working over stuff in memory vs. materializing to disk, do you think #106 helps? Or is that insufficient?

OK. I understand. Thanks. @TomFinley
