Unraveling the Connection between In-Context Learning and Gradient Descent in Transformers

The podcast discusses a paper that explores the relationship between in-context learning and gradient descent in Transformer models. It highlights how Transformers learn to learn by mimicking the behavior of gradient descent on input data, leading to improved few-shot learning capabilities and faster adaptation to new tasks.
