Contents
Meta-learning refers to algorithms which aim to learn an aspect of a learning algorithm from data.
Examples of meta-learning methods include algorithms which design neural network architectures based on data, optimize the performance of a learning algorithm or exploit commonalities between tasks to enable learning from few samples on unseen tasks.
These methods hold the promise to automate machine learning even further than learning good representations from data by learning algorithms to learn even better representations.

The seminar will cover the most important works which provide the cornerstone knowledge to understand cutting edge research in the field of meta-learning. Applications will include:

  • Learning from few samples

  • Automatically tuning neural network architectures

  • Determining appropriate equivariances

  • Disentangling causal mechanisms
