• Abstract: Neural architecture search (NAS) has fostered various fields of machine learning. Despite its prominent dedications, many have criticized the intrinsic limitations of high computational cost. We aim to ameliorate this by proposing a pretraining scheme that can be generally applied to controller-based NAS. Our method, locality-based self-supervised classification task, leverages the structural similarity of network architectures to obtain good architecture representations. We incorporate our method into neural architecture optimization (NAO) to analyze the pretrained embeddings and its effectiveness and highlight that adding metric learning loss brings a favorable impact on NAS. Our code is available at \url{https://github.com/Multi-Objective-NAS/self-supervised-nas}.

  We develop a family of models with the distilling neural architecture (DNA) techniques. Our proposed DNA models can rate all architecture candidates, as opposed to previous works that can only access a sub- search space using algorithms. Our models achieve state-of-the-art top-1 accuracy of 78.9% and 83.6% on ImageNet for a mobile convolutional network and a small vision transformer, respectively.

  Weight sharing has become a de facto standard in neural architecture search because it enables the search to be done on commodity hardware. Recent works have empirically shown a ranking disorder between the performance of stand-alone architectures and that of the corresponding shared-weight networks. We propose a regularization term that aims to maximize the correlation between the performance rankings of the shared-weight network and that of the standalone architectures.
