  • Bayesian Neural Architecture Search Using a Training-Free Performance Metric
    Bayesian Neural Architecture Search using A Training-Free Performance Metric Andr´esCamerob,a,∗, Hao Wangc, Enrique Albaa, Thomas B¨ackc aUniversidad de M´alaga,ITIS Software, Espa~na bGermanAerospace Center (DLR), Remote Sensing Technology Institute (IMF), Germany cLeiden University, LIACS, The Netherlands Abstract Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are a powerful approach for time se- ries prediction. However, their performance is strongly affected by their architecture and hyperparameter settings. The architecture optimization of RNNs is a time-consuming task, where the search space is typically a mixture of real, integer and categorical values. To allow for shrinking and expanding the size of the network, the representation of architectures often has a variable length. In this paper, we propose to tackle the architecture optimization problem with a variant of the Bayesian Optimization (BO) algorithm. To reduce the evaluation time of candidate architectures the Mean Absolute Error Random Sampling (MRS), a training-free method to estimate the network performance, is adopted as the objective function for BO. Also, we propose three fixed-length encoding schemes to cope with the variable-length architecture representation. The result is a new perspective on accurate and efficient design of RNNs, that we validate on three problems. Our findings show that 1) the BO algorithm can explore different network architectures using the proposed encoding schemes and successfully designs well-performing architectures, and 2) the optimization time is significantly
