The following list considers papers related to neural architecture search. It is by no means complete. If you miss a paper on the list, please let us know.
Please note that although NAS methods steadily improve, the quality of empirical evaluations in this field are still lagging behind compared to other areas in machine learning, AI and optimization. We would therefore like to share some best practices for empirical evaluations of NAS methods, which we believe will facilitate sustained and measurable progress in the field. If you are interested in a teaser, please read our blog post or directly jump to our checklist.

For example, a Pareto-optimal DNN AxDNN for the MNIST and CIFAR-10 datasets exhibits up to 1.5× higher adversarial robustness, 2.1× less energy consumption, 4.39× reduced latency, and 2.37× low memory footprint when compared to the state-of-the-art NAS approaches.},

abstract = {In recent years, Neural Architecture Search (NAS) has marked significant advancements, yet its efficacy is marred by the dependence on substantial computational resources. To mitigate this, the development of NAS benchmarks has emerged, offering datasets that enumerate all potential network architectures and their performances within a predefined search space. Nonetheless, these benchmarks predominantly focus on convolutional architectures, which are criticized for their limited interpretability and suboptimal hardware efficiency. Recognizing the untapped potential of Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) — often hailed as the third generation of neural networks for their biological realism and computational thrift — this study introduces SpikeNAS-Bench. As a pioneering benchmark for SNN, SpikeNAS-Bench utilizes a cell-based search space, integrating leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) neurons with variable thresholds as candidate operations. It encompasses 15,625 candidate architectures, rigorously evaluated on CIFAR10, CIFAR100 and Tiny-ImageNet datasets. This paper delves into the architectural nuances of SpikeNAS-Bench, leveraging various criteria to underscore the benchmark’s utility and presenting insights that could steer future NAS algorithm designs. Moreover, we assess the benchmark’s consistency through three distinct proxy types: zero-cost-based, early-stop-based, and predictor-based proxies. Additionally, the paper benchmarks seven contemporary NAS algorithms to attest to SpikeNAS-Bench’s broad applicability. We commit to providing training logs, diagnostic data for all candidate architectures, and the promise to release all code and datasets post-acceptance, aiming to catalyze further exploration and innovation within the SNN domain.

To mitigate this, the development of NAS benchmarks has emerged, offering datasets that enumerate all potential network architectures and their performances within a predefined search space. Nonetheless, these benchmarks predominantly focus on convolutional architectures, which are criticized for their limited interpretability and suboptimal hardware efficiency. Recognizing the untapped potential of Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) — often hailed as the third generation of neural networks for their biological realism and computational thrift — this study introduces SpikeNAS-Bench. As a pioneering benchmark for SNN, SpikeNAS-Bench utilizes a cell-based search space, integrating leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) neurons with variable thresholds as candidate operations. It encompasses 15,625 candidate architectures, rigorously evaluated on CIFAR10, CIFAR100 and Tiny-ImageNet datasets. This paper delves into the architectural nuances of SpikeNAS-Bench, leveraging various criteria to underscore the benchmark’s utility and presenting insights that could steer future NAS algorithm designs. Moreover, we assess the benchmark’s consistency through three distinct proxy types: zero-cost-based, early-stop-based, and predictor-based proxies. Additionally, the paper benchmarks seven contemporary NAS algorithms to attest to SpikeNAS-Bench’s broad applicability. We commit to providing training logs, diagnostic data for all candidate architectures, and the promise to release all code and datasets post-acceptance, aiming to catalyze further exploration and innovation within the SNN domain. SpikeNAS-Bench is open source at https://github.com/XXX (hidden for double anonymous review).

Concurrently, neural architecture search (NAS) methods have gained traction as a means to alleviate human efforts. Nevertheless, the question of whether NAS methods can efficiently and effectively manage diversified search spaces featuring disparate candidates, such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and transformers, remains an open question. In this work, we introduce a novel unsupervised NAS approach called BossNAS (Block-wisely Self-supervised Neural Architecture Search), which aims to address the problem of inaccurate predictive architecture ranking caused by a large weight-sharing space while mitigating potential ranking issue caused by biased supervision. To achieve this, we factorize the search space into blocks and introduce a novel self-supervised training scheme called Ensemble Bootstrapping, to train each block separately in an unsupervised manner. In the search phase, we propose an unsupervised Population-Centric Search, optimizing the candidate architecture towards the population center. Additionally, we enhance our NAS method by integrating masked image modeling and present BossNAS++ to overcome the lack of dense supervision in our block-wise self-supervised NAS. In BossNAS++, we introduce the training technique named Masked Ensemble Bootstrapping for block-wise supernet, accompanied by a Masked Population-Centric Search scheme to promote fairer architecture selection. Our family of models, discovered through BossNAS and BossNAS++, delivers impressive results across various search spaces and datasets. Our transformer model discovered by BossNAS++ attains a remarkable accuracy of 83.2% on ImageNet with only 10.5B MAdds, surpassing DeiT-B by 1.4% while maintaining a lower computation cost. Moreover, our approach excels in architecture rating accuracy, achieving Spearman correlations of 0.78 and 0.76 on the canonical MBConv search space with ImageNet and the NATS-Bench size search space with CIFAR-100, respectively, outperforming state-of-the-art NAS methods.},

abstract = {Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a multifaceted neurodevelopmental disorder featuring impaired social interactions and communication abilities engaging the individuals in a restrictive or repetitive behaviour. Though incurable early detection and intervention can reduce the severity of symptoms. Structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) can improve diagnostic accuracy, facilitating early diagnosis to offer more tailored care. With the emergence of deep learning (DL), neuroimaging-based approaches for ASD diagnosis have been focused. However, many existing models lack interpretability of their decisions for diagnosis. The prime objective of this work is to perform ASD classification precisely and to interpret the classification process in a better way so as to discern the major features that are appropriate for the prediction of disorder. The proposed model employs neural architecture search network - mobile(NASNet-Mobile) model for ASD detection, which is integrated with an explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) technique called local interpretable model-agnostic explanations (LIME) for increased transparency of ASD classification. The model is trained on sMRI images of two age groups taken from autism brain imaging data exchange-I (ABIDE-I) dataset. The proposed model yielded accuracy of 0.9607, F1-score of 0.9614, specificity of 0.9774, sensitivity of 0.9451, negative predicted value (NPV) of 0.9429, positive predicted value (PPV) of 0.9783 and the diagnostic odds ratio of 745.59 for 2 to 11 years age group compared to 12 to 18 years group. These results are superior compared to other state of the art models Inception v3 and SqueezeNet.},
