Most deep learning models we build these days are highly optimized for a specific type of dataset. Architectures that are good at processing textual data cant be applied to computer vision or audio analysis. That level of specialization naturally influences the creation of models highly specialized in a given task and that are not able to adapt to other tasks. This constraint highly contrasts with human cognition in which many tasks require diverse…
