contents Model Agnostic Meta Learning or MAML has become the standard for few-shot learning as a meta-learning problem. MAML is simple and can be applied to any model, as its name suggests. However, it often suffers from instability and computational inefficiency during both training and inference times. In this paper, we propose two algorithms to improve both the inner and outer loops of MAML, then pose an important question about what 'meta' learning truly is. Our first algorithm redefines the optimization problem in the function space to update the model using closed-form solutions instead of optimizing parameters through multiple gradient steps in the inner loop. In the outer loop, the second algorithm adjusts the learning of the meta-learner by assigning weights to the losses from each task of the inner loop. This method optimizes convergence during both the training and inference stages of MAML. In conclusion, our algorithms offer a new perspective on meta-learning and make significant discoveries in both theory and experiments. This research suggests a more efficient approach to few-shot learning and fast task adaptation compared to existing methods. Furthermore, it lays the foundation for establishing a new paradigm in meta-learning.
