• Abstract: Neuroevolutionary algorithms, automatic searches of neural network structures by means of evolutionary techniques, are computationally costly procedures. In spite of this, due to the great performance provided by the architectures which are found, these methods are widely applied. The final outcome of neuroevolutionary processes is the best structure found during the search, and the rest of the procedure is commonly omitted in the literature. However, a good amount of residual information consisting of valuable knowledge that can be extracted is also produced during these searches. In this paper, we propose an approach that extracts this information from neuroevolutionary runs, and use it to build a metamodel that could positively impact future neural architecture searches. More specifically, by inspecting the best structures found during neuroevolutionary searches of generative adversarial networks with varying characteristics (e.g., based on dense or convolutional layers), we propose a Bayesian network-based model which can be used to either find strong neural structures right away, conveniently initialize different structural searches for different problems, or help future optimization of structures of any type to keep finding increasingly better structures where uninformed methods get stuck into local optima.

  Firefly neural architecture descent is a general framework for progressively and dynamically growing neural networks. We show that firefly descent can flexibly grow networks both wider and deeper, and can be applied to learn accurate but resource-efficient neural architectures. In particular, it learns networks that are smaller in size but have higher average accuracy than those learned by the state-of-the-art methods.
