That's not a surprise; "online learning" is a pretty misleading name. Here are some better alternatives:
* incremental learning / training
* stream-based learning / training
So, let's use these terms instead -- then it will be easier to find in your favorite search engine.
Here is one example using the term "stream-based learning":

- idunning 12y agoI wouldn't say its "misleading", it is a correct usage of the word online (especially contrasted with offline learning) and is the name of the sub-area. You won't find many (most?) papers in the area with those search terms unfortunately.
- dj-wonk 12y agoThese so-called "online" techniques do not require being online (as in connected to the internet); they simply require being exposed to a stream of ongoing training data. They learn incrementally. This is why I say the term "online" is misleading. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_machine_learning http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_machine_learning > Online machine learning is a model of induction that learns one instance at a time.
