UENAS: A Unified Evolution-based NAS Framework. (arXiv:2203.04300v1 [cs.LG])

Neural architecture search (NAS) has gained significant attention for
automatic network design in recent years. Previous NAS methods suffer from
limited search spaces, which may lead to sub-optimal results. In this paper, we
propose UENAS, an evolution-based NAS framework with a broader search space
that supports optimizing network architectures, pruning strategies, and
hyperparameters simultaneously. To alleviate the huge search cost caused by the
expanded search space, three strategies are adopted: First, an adaptive pruning
strategy that iteratively trims the average …
