• Abstract: Neural architecture search (NAS) aims to automatically design deep neural networks of satisfactory performance. Wherein, architecture performance predictor is critical to efficiently value an intermediate neural architecture. But for the training of this predictor, a number of neural architectures and their corresponding real performance often have to be collected. In contrast with classical performance predictor optimized in a fully supervised way, this paper suggests a semi-supervised assessor of neural architectures. We employ an auto-encoder to discover meaningful representations of neural architectures. Taking each neural architecture as an individual instance in the search space, we construct a graph to capture their intrinsic similarities, where both labeled and unlabeled architectures are involved. A graph convolutional neural network is introduced to predict the performance of architectures based on the learned representations and their relation modeled by the graph. Extensive experimental results on the NAS-Benchmark-101 dataset demonstrated that our method is able to make a significant reduction on the required fully trained architectures for finding efficient architectures.

  We define a new problem Neural Architecture Retrieval which retrieves a set of existing neural architectures with similar designs to the query neural architecture. Existing graph pre-training strategies cannot address the computational graph in neural architectures due to the graph size and motifs. We introduce multi-level contrastive learning to achieve accurate graph representation learning.

• Weak NAS Predictors Are All You Need [91.11570424233709]
  Recent predictor-based NAS approaches attempt to solve the problem with two key steps: sampling some architecture-performance pairs and fitting a proxy accuracy predictor. We shift the paradigm from finding a complicated predictor that covers the whole architecture space to a set of weaker predictors that progressively move towards the high-performance sub-space. Our method costs fewer samples to find the top-performance architectures on NAS-Bench-101 and NAS-Bench-201, and it achieves the state-of-the-art ImageNet performance on the NASNet search space.

• Does Unsupervised Architecture Representation Learning Help Neural Architecture Search? [22.63641173256389]
  Existing Neural Architecture Search (NAS) methods either encode neural architectures using discrete encodings that do not scale well, or adopt supervised learning-based methods to jointly learn architecture representations and optimize architecture search on such representations which incurs search bias. We observe that the structural properties of neural architectures are hard to preserve in the latent space if architecture representation learning and search are coupled, resulting in less effective search performance.
