This paper presents a novel approach to improving generalization in machine learning, called CGLearn. The authors propose learning invariant predictors across multiple environments, which relies on the agreement of gradients across these environments. This method demonstrates superior performance compared to state-of-the-art methods in both linear and nonlinear settings across various regression and classification tasks. The proposed approach shows robust applicability even in the absence of separate environments by exploiting invariance across different subsamples of observational data. Comprehensive experiments on both synthetic and real-world datasets highlight its effectiveness in diverse scenarios.

CGLearn is a new way to make machine learning models more reliable and accurate. It works by looking at how features change when data is from different places or times. If the features agree, it’s likely they’re important for making predictions. If they don’t agree, it might mean there are differences in what’s causing things to happen. This approach helps machines learn from a wide range of data and make better predictions.
