I know nothing about any of this, but has there been any work into using neural networks to guide and vary the parameter values during training?

There has been some work related to what you are describing:

Learning to learn by gradient descent by gradient descent https://arxiv.org/abs/1606.04474

Related (but less so), there are also some papers about learning neural network architectures:
