Breakthrough Technique: Meta-learning for Compositionality

How MLC Works
In exploring the possibility of bolstering compositional learning in neural networks, the researchers created MLC, a novel learning procedure in which a neural network is continuously updated to improve its skills over a series of episodes. In an episode, MLC receives a new word and is asked to use it compositionally—for instance, to take the word “jump” and then create new word combinations, such as “jump twice” or “jump around right twice.” MLC then receives a new episode that features a different word, and so on, each time improving the network’s compositional skills.

I am not sure what "image classification models" incompasses. I would have to read more and understand and I don't have enough time and energy.
Yet in the past I have read and understand a few books about neural networks and this new article in nature is something else : it's clear when reading it.

I mean is this any different than standard gradient descent with something like Adam as optimiser.

That's my assumption based on the headline. But the quick skim I gave the article seemed to only discuss it in the context of NLP. Not exactly my field of study.
