Correlation alignment and the maximum mean discrepancy are two widely used distribution-matching frameworks for unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA). However, high variance in these losses has been shown to undermine their effectiveness in minibatch optimisation settings.

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.
