英文摘要：
  Investment decisions can benefit from incorporating an accumulated knowledge of the past to drive future decision making. We introduce Continual Learning Augmentation (CLA) which is based on an explicit memory structure and a feed forward neural network (FFNN) base model and used to drive long term financial investment decisions. We demonstrate that our approach improves accuracy in investment decision making while memory is addressed in an explainable way. Our approach introduces novel remember cues, consisting of empirically learned change points in the absolute error series of the FFNN. Memory recall is also novel, with contextual similarity assessed over time by sampling distances using dynamic time warping (DTW). We demonstrate the benefits of our approach by using it in an expected return forecasting task to drive investment decisions. In an investment simulation in a broad international equity universe between 2003-2017, our approach significantly outperforms FFNN base models. We also illustrate how CLA\'s memory addressing works in practice, using a worked example to demonstrate the explainability of our approach.

中文摘要：
投资决策可以受益于结合过去积累的知识来推动未来的决策。我们引入了基于显式记忆结构和前馈神经网络（FFNN）基础模型的连续学习增强（CLA），用于驱动长期金融投资决策。我们证明，我们的方法提高了投资决策的准确性，同时以一种可解释的方式解决了内存问题。我们的方法引入了新的记忆线索，由FFNN绝对误差序列中经验学习到的变化点组成。记忆回忆也很新颖，通过使用动态时间扭曲（DTW）的采样距离来评估随时间变化的上下文相似性。我们通过在预期回报预测任务中使用该方法来推动投资决策，从而证明了该方法的好处。在2003-2017年广泛的国际股权领域的投资模拟中，我们的方法明显优于FFNN基础模型。我们还说明了CLA的内存寻址在实践中是如何工作的，并使用一个工作示例演示了我们的方法的可解释性。
