ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Meta learning

Meta learning is like learning how to learn. It's like being a superhero who learns the best and fastest way to learn new things.

Imagine you want to learn how to ride a bike. The first time you try, you may fall off a lot because you don't know how to balance. But after you practice a few times, you get better and better until you can ride the bike without falling. That's regular learning.

Meta learning is a bit different. It means you learn how to learn more efficiently. So, imagine you want to learn about all kinds of sports, not just biking. With meta learning, you might start by figuring out the best ways to learn new things, like:

- What time of day do you learn best?
- Do you learn better by watching someone else or by trying it yourself?
- How long should you practice before taking a break?
- Can you learn better by breaking a complicated task into smaller parts?

By figuring out the best way to learn, you can get good at learning all sorts of things. It's like having a superpower that helps you learn faster and better than anyone else!
