The paper studies a two‑stage learning framework that first trains an offline model using approximate nonlinear‑least‑squares estimation and then adapts it online with a meta‑LMS algorithm to handle parameter drift in nonlinear stochastic dynamical systems. It provides an upper bound on the offline generalization error that accounts for strong data correlation and distribution shift via Kullback‑Leibler divergence, and it demonstrates that the combined offline‑online approach outperforms methods that rely solely on offline or online learning. Both theoretical analysis and empirical experiments support the claimed performance gains.

The paper presents a theoretical study of Adam in non‑stationary stochastic optimization, distinguishing two regimes: Euclidean tracking under adaptive strong monotonicity and high‑probability projected stationarity for general smooth objectives. It derives finite‑time bounds that decompose into initialization, objective drift, first‑moment tracking error (β₁), and preconditioner perturbation (β₂), and characterizes burn‑in times for constant and step‑decay schedules. The analysis reveals a noise–drift tradeoff, showing that in noise‑dominated settings Adam’s adaptive mechanisms can improve guarantees, while in drift‑dominated settings they may worsen tracking, potentially making vanilla SGD preferable.

The paper introduces AURA, a meta‑learning framework that learns a low‑dimensional latent state‑space model for the evolution of optimal model parameters under distribution shift. Online adaptation is performed via extended Kalman filtering in this latent space, followed by reconstruction of full model parameters through a learned lifting map, enabling efficient single‑step updates. Experiments on neural wireless receivers and non‑stationary image classification show that AURA improves adaptation speed, accuracy, and computational efficiency compared to existing online learning and Bayesian filtering baselines.
