kalomaze: You don't need an analytic transfer theory, just a learnable transfer-extrapolation function

kalomaze · x · 2026-09-12

Continuing the RLVR generalization discussion, kalomaze argues you don't necessarily need a strong mechanistic theory of transfer (which may not exist in closed form) before training. What you need instead is a strong learned function of transfer extrapolation for a given policy — something he says is constructible, replacing crude heuristics like domain similarity.
