Learned optimizers and related topics

github.com/google/learned_optimization - "Meta-learning optimizers and more with JAX"

This is used by various interesting papers including the famous "persistent evolution strategies" paper which I don't understand and "Gradients are Not All You Need" arxiv.org/abs/2111.05803 tempting paper.

Moreover, it is used by a super-interesting "Practical tradeoffs between memory, compute, and performance in learned optimizers" arxiv.org/abs/2203.11860 must-read paper, which is being published at the following conference lifelong-ml.cc/ (Conference on Lifelong Learning Agents - CoLLAs 2022, Aug 18-24)

"JAX vs Julia (vs PyTorch)"

kidger.site/thoughts/jax-vs-julia/

Various correspondencies between JAX and Julia constructions he is listing there are quite useful for people practicing either JAX or Julia.

(I am having good time with both JAX and Julia this year.)
