Sedna v0.3.0 release

Lifelong learning

• Support edge-cloud synergy lifelong learning feature:
  • leverages the cloud knowledge base which empowers the scheme with memory ability, which helps to continuously learn and accumulate historical knowledge to overcome the catastrophic forgetting challenge.
  • is essentially the combination of another two learning schemes, i.e., multi-task learning and incremental learning, so that it can learn unseen tasks with shared knowledge among various scenarios over time.
• Add lifelong learning example.

Lib refactor

• By using a registration of class-factory functions to emulate virtual constructors, developers can invoke different components by change variables in the Config file.
• Clean up and redesign the base Config class, each feature maintains it's specific variables, and ensures that developers can be manually updated the variables.
• Decouple the ML framework from the features of sedna, allows developers to choose their favorite framework.
• Add a common file operation and a unified log-format in common module, use an abstract base class to standardize the feature modules' interface, and features are invoked by inheriting the base class.
