Resource Constrained Neural Network Architecture Search: Will a Submodularity Assumption Help?
April 2019 • Yunyang Xiong, Ronak Mehta, Vikas Singh
The design of neural network architectures is frequently either based on human expertise using trial/error and empirical feedback or tackled via large scale reinforcement learning strategies performed over distinct discrete architecture choices. In the latter case, the optimization is often non-differentiable and also not very amenable to derivative-free optimization methods. Most methods in use today require sizable computational resources. And if we want networks that additionally satisfy resource constraints, t…
