Research question & abstract

Explores whether recurrent networks can learn update rules that generalize across families of differentiable objectives.

02

Methods & evaluation

Train an LSTM on synthetic quadratic functions and compare convergence against gradient descent and Adam on unseen condition numbers.

03

System architecture

  1. 01

    Synthetic quadratic generator

  2. 02

    LSTM update-rule model

  3. 03

    unrolled training

  4. 04

    held-out comparison with gradient descent and Adam.

04

Results & findings

ILLUSTRATIVE RESULT · NOT VERIFIED

Sample finding: improved convergence within the training distribution; limited generalization to nonconvex objectives.

05

Limitations & pending evidence

Illustrative findings are limited to the training distribution; nonconvex generalization and reproducibility have not been established.
