Novel meta-RL strategy improves efficiency in learning novel tasks.

problem Efficiency in learning novel tasks using deep RL.
method Decomposes meta-RL into task-exploration, task-inference, and task-fulfillment; uses deep networks and a task encoder.
result Improves sample efficiency and mitigates meta-overfitting.

Gradient-based meta-RL fails with incorrect task distributions, leading to instability and poor performance.

problem Gradient-based meta-RL's sensitivity to task distributions causes instability and poor performance.
method Proposes meta Active Domain Randomization (meta-ADR) to learn task distributions for gradient-based meta-RL.
result Meta-ADR improves stability and generalization of MAML on simulated locomotion and navigation tasks.

The paper investigates overfitting in hyperparameter optimization.

problem Overfitting in hyperparameter optimization (overtuning).
method Formal definition, large-scale reanalysis of HPO benchmark data, analysis of factors affecting overtuning.
result Overtuning is more common than previously assumed, leading to worse generalization error in 10% of cases.

We propose CAVIA for meta-learning, a simple extension to MAML that is less prone to meta-overfitting, easier to parallelise, and more interpretable. CAVIA partitions the model parameters into two parts: context parameters that serve as additional input to the model and are adapted on individual tasks, and shared param…
