Accurately assessing the maximum moment resistance of steel bolted T-stub connections under cyclic loading is crucial for designing earthquake-resistant structures with such connections. Traditional methods based on design standards like ASCE 41-17 often lack precision. Recently, supervised machine learning techniques, particularly Artificial Neural Network (ANN), have been explored. However, conventional ANNs require substantial data for generalization, which is limited for steel bolted T-stub connections. To address these challenges, this study explores the feasibility of using the Model-Agnostic Meta-Learning (MAML) to predict the maximum cyclic moment resistance of steel bolted T-stub connections. MAML adapts task-specific model parameters rapidly and transfers knowledge across tasks to fine-tune global model parameters, potentially enhancing prediction accuracy with limited data. The MAML model is first optimized using Bayesian optimization with a Gaussian Process model to identify ideal hyperparameters. The optimized MAML model is then compared with two ANN models (one with optimized hyperparameters, another matching MAML's neural network architecture) and ASCE 41-17 method. Results demonstrate the optimized MAML model's superior generalization capabilities, offering a promising approach for steel bolted T-stub connections.
