First one uses something like 1k GPUs for a month, next one is a bit more reasonable, and the last one actually has a reasonable training time, and has comparable performance to DARTS (see ENAS in comparison tables). 1: https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.01578 2: https://arxiv.org/abs/1707.07012 3: https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.03268&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1611.01578/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.

Abstract: &amp;gt;This paper addresses the scalability challenge of architecture search by formulating the task in a differentiable manner. Unlike conventional approaches of applying evolution or reinforcement learning over a discrete and non-differentiable search space, our method is based on the continuous relaxation of the architecture representation, allowing efficient search of the architecture using gradient descent. Extensive experiments on CIFAR-10, ImageNet, Penn Treebank and WikiText-2 show that our algorithm excels in discovering…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1611.01578/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.

People have actually trained neural networks to generate other neural networks. The &amp;quot;designer&amp;quot; network is trained using reinforcement learning, with a reward signal that depends on the efficacy of the networks it creates. See: Neural Architecture Search with Reinforcement Learning (https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.01578) It looks like they trained the &amp;quot;designer&amp;quot; network by trainning 15,000 deep learning models (800 at a time in parallel over 800 GPUs)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1611.01578/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.

Also it seems different from more traditional hyperparameter optimization because it makes novel cells. So the structure of the network isn&amp;#x27;t limited to our existing library of layers/cells. https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.01578 https://youtu.be/HcStlHGpjN8?t=2073&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1611.01578/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.

NASNet is an example of a result of AutoML. To quote the Google blogpost on NASNet: &amp;gt;In Learning Transferable Architectures for Scalable Image Recognition, we apply AutoML to the ImageNet image classification and COCO object detection dataset... AutoML was able to find the best layers that work well on CIFAR-10 but work well on ImageNet classification and COCO object detection. These two layers are combined to form a novel architecture, which we called “NASNet”.…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1611.01578/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
