Neural architecture search via reference point based multi‐objective evolutionary algorithm

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose RNSGA-Net for neural architecture search, which balances the conflict objectives and considers the preference of decision-makers.

• We augment an extra bit value of the original encoding to represent two types of residual block and one type of dense block for residual connection and dense connection.

• Experiment results on the CIFAR-10 dataset demonstrate that RNSGA-Net can improve NSGA-Net in terms of the more structured representation space and the preference of decision-makers.
