The online meta-learning framework is designed for the continual lifelong learning setting. It bridges two fields: meta-learning which tries to extract prior knowledge from past tasks for fast learning of future tasks, and online-learning which deals with the sequential setting where problems are revealed one by one. In this paper, we generalize the original framework from convex to non-convex setting, and introduce the local regret as the alternative performance measure. We then apply this framework to stochastic settings, and show theoretically that it enjoys a logarithmic local regret, and is robust to any hyperparameter initialization. The empirical test on a real-world task demonstrates its superiority compared with traditional methods.

Rare diseases affect a relatively small number of people, which limits investment in research for treatments and cures. Developing an efficient method for rare disease detection is a crucial first step towards subsequent clinical research. In this paper, we present a semi-supervised learning framework for rare disease detection using generative adversarial networks. Our method takes advantage of the large amount of unlabeled data for disease detection and achieves the best results in terms of precision-recall score compared to baseline techniques.
