PyTorch implementation of Efficient Neural Architecture Search via Parameters Sharing.
ENAS reduce the computational requirement (GPU-hours) of Neural Architecture Search (NAS) by 1000x via parameter sharing between models that are subgraphs within a large computational graph. SOTA on Penn Treebank language modeling.
**[Caveat] Use official code from the authors: link**
- Python 3.6+
- PyTorch==0.3.1
- tqdm, scipy, imageio, graphviz, tensorboardX
Install prerequisites with:
conda install graphviz
pip install -r requirements.txt
To train ENAS to discover a recurrent cell for RNN:
python main.py --network_type rnn --dataset ptb --controller_optim adam --controller_lr 0.00035 \
--shared_optim sgd --shared_lr 20.0 --entropy_coeff 0.0001
python main.py --network_type rnn --dataset wikitext
To train ENAS to discover CNN architecture (in progress):
python main.py --network_type cnn --dataset cifar --controller_optim momentum --controller_lr_cosine=True \
--controller_lr_max 0.05 --controller_lr_min 0.0001 --entropy_coeff 0.1
or you can use your own dataset by placing images like:
data
├── YOUR_TEXT_DATASET
│ ├── test.txt
│ ├── train.txt
│ └── valid.txt
├── YOUR_IMAGE_DATASET
│ ├── test
│ │ ├── xxx.jpg (name doesn't matter)
│ │ ├── yyy.jpg (name doesn't matter)
│ │ └── ...

Efficient Neural Architecture Search (ENAS) is composed of two sets of learnable parameters, controller LSTM θ and the shared parameters ω. These two parameters are alternatively trained and only trained controller is used to derive novel architectures.
Controller LSTM decide 1) what activation function to use and 2) which previous node to connect.
The RNN cell ENAS discovered for Penn Treebank and WikiText-2 dataset:
Best discovered ENAS cell for Penn Treebank at epoch 27:
You can see the details of training (e.g. reward, entropy, loss) with:
tensorboard --logdir=logs --port=6006
Controller LSTM samples 1) what computation operation to use and 2) which previous node to connect.
