"Here we investigate using optax to meta-learn the learning rate of an optax optimizer. For a concrete example, we define a model where $y$ is linearly related to $x$, with some added noise,\n",
"\n",
"$$y = f(x) = 10 \\cdot x + \\mathcal{N}(0, 1).$$\n",
"\n",
"We imagine trying to solve the problem where we have access to some data generated by $f(\\cdot)$, but we do not know what $f$ actually is. Thus, we can attempt to approximate $f(\\cdot)$ using a parametrized function, $f(\\theta, x).$ We can find a good value of $\\theta$ using gradient descent with optax. \n",
"\n",
"Gradient descent typically requires hyper-parameters be chosen, for example the learning rate of the optimizer. Using meta-learning, we are able to simultaneously optimize over parameters of our optimizer, whilst also optimizing over the underlying parameters for the function we are fitting.\n",
"\n",
"Many meta-learning algorithms now take the following form,\n",
"\n",
"1. An inner loop performs $N$ updates to a model's parameters $\\theta$ using the current value of a hyper-parameter $\\eta$.\n",
"1. An outer loop updates the hyper-parameter $\\eta$ to maximize the quality of the inner updates to $\\theta$ by differentiating through the inner updates.\n",
"\n",
"Since in our case we are interested in the learning rate, which is\n",
"bounded between 0 and 1, we parametrize the learning rate as a sigmoid\n",
"over the meta parameter $\\eta$.\n",
"\n",
"In the following snippts, we will solve the problem using optax. To begin with, we define a generator that samples from the hidden underlying distribution."
