New ELO algorithm enhances learned optimizers for long-horizon tasks

Researchers have developed a new meta-training algorithm called Efficient Long-Horizon (ELO) learning to address limitations in current learned optimizers (LOs). ELO efficiently scales meta-training to long-horizon inner problems by reallocating compute to longer failure regimes and provides stable learning signals through decoupled progressive expert supervision. This approach improves the performance and out-of-distribution generalization of LOs on downstream tasks like language modeling and image classification, with ELO-trained optimizers consistently outperforming AdamW and competing with Muon.

    Efficient Long-Horizon Learning for Learned Optimization

    arXiv:2607.06772v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learned optimization aims to improve upon hand-designed optimizers (e.g., Adam and Muon) by meta-learning small neural network optimizers over a distribution of tasks. While recent work has greatly advanced the architectural design …
