Reinforcement learning (RL) can in principle let robots automatically adapt to new tasks, but current RL methods require a large number of trials to accomplish this. In this paper, we tackle rapid adaptation to new tasks through the…

Despite their prevalence in deep-learning communities, over-parameterized models convey high demands of computational costs for proper training. This work studies the fine-grained, modular-level learning dynamics of over-parameterized…

The success of gradient-based meta-learning is primarily attributed to its ability to leverage related tasks to learn task-invariant information. However, the absence of interactions between different tasks in the inner loop leads to…

Many meta-learning algorithms can be formulated into an interleaved process, in the sense that task-specific predictors are learned during inner-task adaptation and meta-parameters are updated during meta-update. The normal meta-training…
