Concur w/Brian. While the authors present genuine contributions,
meta-learning doesn't apply well to zero-sized architectures.

I didn't get a lot from the article, the arxiv link for the work done is
https://arxiv.org/abs/1812.00332

this doesn't actually speed up the neural networks that much; it's a
technique to more quickly brute-force the search space of possible neural
networks for ones that execute faster while maintaining similar accuracy.
Typical hype article.

Anyway, the effort spent looking for bizarre architectures is probably
better spent doing more iterations of zero-style self-play with the same
architecture, since it seems likely we haven't maxed out the strength of
our existing architectures.

i wonder how much this would speed up go programs?

thanks
