Description
Does DeepAR support incremental learning?
Or in other words: Does it accept the 'model_uri' argument?
I want to update my model over time and I hope that training must not always start from scratch.
#### Update:
Apparently DeepAR **does not support** incremental training. Specifying a model as additional input channel leads to an error (shown below). This is really a pity and I can't understand why it's not supported. This is a standard scenario in deep learning....
Are there any plans to support incremental training for the future?

Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue names DeepAR and the model_uri training input but does not identify a notebook, test, or implementation entry point. Begin by locating the DeepAR training example and checking how its input configuration handles model_uri; done would require an explicit incremental-training capability or a documented decision about future support.
