The main objective of this paper is to propose a functional definition of lifelong learning system adapted to the framework of task-oriented system. We mainly identified two aspects where a lifelong learning technology could be applied in such system: improve the natural language understanding module and enrich the database used by the system. Given our definition, we present an example of how it could be implemented in an actual task-oriented dialogue system that is developed in the LIHLITH project.
