Researchers have introduced Meta Neural Cellular Automata (MetaNCA), a novel framework designed to learn local rules that can self-organize the weights of artificial neural networks. This approach utilizes a learned rule network, employing a Weight Transformer with linear attention, to iteratively update task network weights through local interactions on the computation graph. MetaNCA has demonstrated its ability to generate weights for various network architectures, including MLPs, CNNs, and ResNets, on datasets like MNIST and CIFAR-100, scaling up to 2 million parameters. Notably, the framework shows generalization capabilities to architectures not encountered during meta-training, with diversity in training architectures enhancing this generalization. AI
