Excited to launch Principia, a nonprofit research organisation at the intersection of deep learning theory and AI safety. Our goal is to develop theory for modern machine learning systems that can help us understand complex network behaviors, including those critical for AI safety and alignment. 1

I have been looking at the draft for a while, I am surprised you had a hard time publishing it, it is a super cool work! Will it be included in the TorchDR package ?

new preprint with the amazing @lviano.bsky.social and @neu-rips.bsky.social on offline imitation learning! learned a lot :) when the expert is hard to represent but the environment is simple, estimating a Q-value rather than the expert directly may be beneficial. lots of open questions left though!

TL;DR: ✅ Theoretical guarantees for nonlinear meta-learning ✅ Explains when and how aggregation helps ✅ Connects RKHS regression, subspace estimation & meta-learning Co-led with Zhu Li 🙌, with invaluable support from @arthurgretton.bsky.social, Samory Kpotufe.

Even with nonlinear representation you can estimate the shared structure at a rate improving in both N (tasks) and n (samples per task). This leads to parametric rates on the target task!⚡ Bonus: for linear kernels, our results recover known linear meta-learning rates.

Dimitri Meunier @dimitrimeunier.bsky.social · 26/05/2025
Short answer: Yes ✅ Key idea💡: Instead of learning each task well, under-regularise per-task estimators to better estimate the shared subspace in the RKHS. Even though each task is noisy, their span reveals the structure we care about. Bias-variance tradeoff in action.

Our paper analyses a meta-learning setting where tasks share a finite dimensional subspace of a Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space. Can we still estimate this shared representation efficiently — and learn new tasks fast?

Dimitri Meunier @dimitrimeunier.bsky.social · 26/05/2025
Most prior theory assumes linear structure: All tasks share a linear representation, and task-specific parts are also linear. Then: we can show improved learning rates as the number of tasks increases. But reality is nonlinear. What then?

Meta-learning = using many related tasks to help learn new ones faster. In practice (e.g. with neural nets), this usually means learning a shared representation across tasks — so we can train quickly on unseen ones. But: what’s the theory behind this? 🤔
