Computer architecture is an important and exciting field of computer science, which enables many other fields (eg. For those of us who pursued computer architecture as a career, this is well understood. In most curriculums, undergrad students do not have much exposure to computer architecture. Why is that? Lack of Exposure.

Being an ICLR paper of course, you won’t be surprised to learn that the solution involves neural networks. Instead of learning from scratch, we draw inspiration from the few-shot leaning advances obtained by meta-learning memory-augmented neural networks. Neural Bloom filters are inspired by this scheme.
