• Abstract: Deep neural networks have recently drawn considerable attention to build and evaluate artificial learning models for perceptual tasks. Here, we present a study on the performance of the deep learning models to deal with global optimization problems. The proposed approach adopts the idea of the neural architecture search (NAS) to generate efficient neural networks for solving the problem at hand. The space of network architectures is represented using a directed acyclic graph and the goal is to find the best architecture to optimize the objective function for a new, previously unknown task. Different from proposing very large networks with GPU computational burden and long training time, we focus on searching for lightweight implementations to find the best architecture. The performance of NAS is first analyzed through empirical experiments on CEC 2017 benchmark suite. Thereafter, it is applied to a set of protein structure prediction (PSP) problems. The experiments reveal that the generated learning models can achieve competitive results when compared to hand-designed algorithms; given enough computational budget

  1-bit convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with binary weights and activations show their potential for resource-limited embedded devices. One natural approach is to use 1-bit CNNs to reduce the computation and memory cost of NAS. We introduce Discrepant Child-Parent Neural Architecture Search (DCP-NAS) to efficiently search 1-bit CNNs.

  We propose a differentiable quantity, named GradCosine, with theoretical insights to evaluate the initial state of a neural network. We show that both the training and test performance of a network can be improved by maximizing GradCosine under norm constraint. Generalized from the sample-wise analysis into the real batch setting, NIO is able to automatically look for a better initialization with negligible cost.
