In machine learning, the transition from hand-designed features to learned features has been a huge success. Regardless, optimization methods are still created by hand. In this study, we illustrate how an optimization method's design can be recast as a learning problem, allowing the algorithm to automatically learn to exploit structure in the problems of interest. On the tasks for which they are taught, our learning algorithms, implemented by LSTMs, beat generic, hand-designed competitors, and they also adapt well to other challenges with comparable structure. We show this on a variety of tasks, including simple convex problems, neural network training, and visual styling with neural art.
