This is essentially the idea behind “meta-learning,” or “learning to learn,” with the slight difference that most of the meta-learning literature aims to initialize networks that can learn quickly (“few-shot learning”). It has pretty good theoretical grounding but in practice seems to be quite expensive.
- plutonorm 7y agoLol. I've seen idea after idea, dismissed and misunderstood on Internet forums, from hackernews to reddit.com/r/machine learning. Time after time I see ideas, my own and those of others, that were dismissed, spawning papers by researchers. Such a toxic atmosphere, I don't know why I bother posting. I am well aware of what meta learning is. If you think that because the idea above comes under the umbrella of metalearning it isn't an interesting idea, then I don't know what to say to you... and the fact that it's downvoted just goes to show the lack of creativity and intuition exhibited by your average hackernews member.
- intuitionist 7y agoI never implied that it wasn’t an interesting idea, and your weird defensiveness suggests to me that there might be a common thread to your getting repeatedly dismissed/downvoted other than misunderstood genius.
