Modern Self-Referential Weight Matrix

This is the official repository containing code for the paper:

A Modern Self-Referential Weight Matrix That Learns to Modify Itself (ICML 2022 & NeurIPS 2021 Deep RL Workshop)

An earlier/shorter version of the paper (only containing the RL part) was presented at NeurIPS 2021 Deep RL Workshop. The corresponding version is available on Openreview.

This reposity also contains code for the paper: Accelerating Neural Self-Improvement via Bootstrapping (ICLR 2023 Workshop). Example scripts for this paper can be found under supervised_learning/scripts/bootstrapping.

Note(November 2023): We have a followup work on self-referential weight matrices (+ continual learning), IDSIA/automated-cl

General instructions

Please refer to the readme file under each directory for further instructions.

License files can be found under the corresponding directories.

In all tasks, our custom CUDA kernels will be automatically compiled. To avoid recompiling the code multiple times, we recommend to specify the path to a directory to store the compiled code via:

export TORCH_EXTENSIONS_DIR="/home/me/torch_extensions/rl"
