We study learning under regime variation, where the learner, its memory state, and the evaluative conditions may evolve over time. This paper is a foundational and structural contribution: its goal is to define the core learning-theoretic objects required for such settings and to establish their first theorem-supporting consequences. The paper develops a regime-varying framework centered on admissible transport, protected-core preservation, and evaluator-aware learning evolution. It records the immediate closure consequences of admissibility, develops a structural obstruction argument for faithful fixed-ontology reduction in genuinely multi-regime settings, and introduces a protected-stability template together with explicit numerical and symbolic witnesses on controlled subclasses, including convex and deductive settings. It also establishes theorem-layer results on evaluator factorization, morphisms, composition, and partial kernel-level alignment across semantically commensurable layers. A worked two-regime example makes the admissibility certificate, protected evaluative core, and regime-variation cost explicit on a controlled subclass. The symbolic component is deliberately restricted in scope: the paper establishes a first kernel-level compatibility result together with a controlled monotonic deductive witness. The manuscript should therefore be read as introducing a structured learning-theoretic framework for regime-varying learning together with its first theorem-supporting layer, not as a complete quantitative theory of all learning systems.

While the inverse sensitivity mechanism was shown to be instance optimal, it was only with respect to a class of unbiased mechanisms such that the most likely outcome matches the underlying data.

Graph contrastivelearning (GCL), by training GNNs to maximize the correspondence between the representations of the same graph in its different augmented forms, may yield robust and transferable GNNs even without using labels.

However,as already suggested, our model is not restricted to any specific intervention type or instantiation. Figure 1 (a) illustrates the performance of iSPN on theCausal Health data setfordifferent intervention types (perfect, atomic), noise terms (Gaussian, Gamma, Beta) and instantiations (Indicator Functions, Modifications). Nonetheless, it can be observed that some interventions are being modelled more precisely than others, e.g. ForEarthquakeand Cancer data sets, we use 5 different number ofsum node weights: 600, 1200, 1800, 2400 and3200. Forthesynthetic causal health data set we use 300, 600, 1000, 1500, 2000.

Representation learning based on multi-task pretraining has become a powerful approach in many domains. In particular, task-aware representation learning aims to learn an optimal representation for a specific target task by sampling data from a set of source tasks, while task-agnostic representation learning seeks to learn a universal representation for a class of tasks. In this paper, we propose a general and versatile algorithmic and theoretic framework for \emph{active representation learning}, where the learner optimally chooses which source tasks to sample from. This framework, along with a tractable meta algorithm, allows most arbitrary target and source task spaces (from discrete to continuous), covers both task-aware and task-agnostic settings, and is compatible with deep representation learning practices. We provide several instantiations under this framework, from bilinear and feature-based nonlinear to general nonlinear cases. In the bilinear case, by leveraging the non-uniform spectrum of the task representation and the calibrated source-target relevance, we prove that the sample complexity to achieve $\varepsilon$-excess risk on target scales with $(k^*)^2 ||v^*||_2^2 \varepsilon^{-2}$ where $k^*$ is the effective dimension of the target and $||v^*||_2^2 \in (0,1]$ represents the connection between source and target space. Compared to the passive one, this can save up to $\frac{1}{d_W}$ of sample complexity, where $d_W$ is the task space dimension. Finally, we demonstrate different instantiations of our meta algorithm in synthetic datasets and robotics problems, from pendulum simulations to real-world drone flight datasets. On average, our algorithms outperform baselines by 20%-70%.
