• Abstract: Recently, Neural Architecture Search (NAS) methods are introduced and show impressive performance on many benchmarks. Among those NAS studies, Neural Architecture Transformer (NAT) aims to improve the given neural architecture to have better performance while maintaining computational costs. However, NAT has limitations about a lack of reproducibility. In this paper, we propose differentiable neural architecture transformation that is reproducible and efficient. The proposed method shows stable performance on various architectures. Extensive reproducibility experiments on two datasets, i.e., CIFAR-10 and Tiny Imagenet, present that the proposed method definitely outperforms NAT and be applicable to other models and datasets.

  Differentiable Neural Architecture Search is one of the most popular NAS methods for its search efficiency and simplicity. We propose an alternative perturbation-based architecture selection that directly measures each operation's influence on the supernet. We find that several failure modes of DARTS can be greatly alleviated with the proposed selection method.

  Modern convolutional networks such as ResNet and NASNet have achieved state-of-the-art results in many computer vision applications. These networks consist of stages, which are sets of layers that operate on representations in the same resolution. It has been demonstrated that increasing the number of layers in each stage improves the prediction ability of the network. However, the resulting architecture becomes computationally expensive in terms of floating point operations, memory requirements and inference time.
