Neural Differential Equations for Learning to Program Neural Nets (Continuous Fast Weight Programmers)

This is the official repository containing code for the paper:

Neural Differential Equations for Learning to Program Neural Nets Through Continuous Learning Rules (NeurIPS 2022)

Contents

• speech_and_physionet directory contains the code used for the Speech Commands and PhysioNet Sepsis experiments (Table 1). Originally forked from patrick-kidger/NeuralCDE.
• eigenworms directory contains the code used for the EigenWorms experiment (Table 2). Originally forked from jambo6/neuralRDEs.
• appendix_mujoco directory for the extra reinforcement learning experiments presented in the appendix. Originally forked from dtak/mbrl-smdp-ode.

Separate license files can be found in each of these directories.
