• Abstract: One-shot neural architecture search (NAS) has played a crucial role in making NAS methods computationally feasible in practice. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of understanding on how these weight-sharing algorithms exactly work due to the many factors controlling the dynamics of the process. In order to allow a scientific study of these components, we introduce a general framework for one-shot NAS that can be instantiated to many recently-introduced variants and introduce a general benchmarking framework that draws on the recent large-scale tabular benchmark NAS-Bench-101 for cheap anytime evaluations of one-shot NAS methods. To showcase the framework, we compare several state-of-the-art one-shot NAS methods, examine how sensitive they are to their hyperparameters and how they can be improved by tuning their hyperparameters, and compare their performance to that of blackbox optimizers for NAS-Bench-101.

  We introduce a "sub-one-shot" paradigm that serves as a bridge between zero-shot and one-shot NAS. In sub-one-shot NAS, the supernet is trained using only a small subset of the training data, a phase we refer to as "warm-up" We present SiGeo, a proxy founded on a novel theoretical framework that connects the supernet warm-up with the efficacy of the proxy.

  Recent neural architecture search (NAS) frameworks have been successful in finding optimal architectures for given conditions. We propose a novel lightweight robust zero-cost proxy that considers the consistency across features, parameters, and gradients of both clean and perturbed images. Our approach facilitates an efficient and rapid search for neural architectures capable of learning generalizable features that exhibit robustness across diverse perturbations.

  We conduct an empirical analysis of the widely used NAS-Bench-101, NAS-Bench-201 and TransNAS-Bench-101 benchmarks. We found that only a subset of the operation pool is required to generate architectures close to the upper-bound of the performance range. We consistently found convolution layers to have the highest impact on the architecture's performance.

  Differentiable Architecture Search (DARTS) has received massive attention in recent years, mainly because it significantly reduces the computational cost. This paper formulates the neural architecture search as a distribution learning problem through relaxing the architecture weights into Gaussian distributions. We demonstrate how the differentiable NAS benefits from Bayesian principles, enhancing exploration and improving stability.
