LLMs aid neural architecture search by generating and refining code for vision models

Researchers have developed a novel framework that utilizes large language models (LLMs) to automate the search for optimal channel configurations in vision models. This approach treats neural architecture search as a conditional code generation task, where the LLM refines architectural specifications based on performance feedback. To overcome data scarcity, the system generates a corpus of valid architectures through abstract syntax tree mutations, enabling the LLM to learn architectural patterns. Experiments on CIFAR-100 demonstrated that this LLM-driven method improves upon initial architecture populations, discovering domain-specific design patterns like non-standard channel widths. AI
