New PPNAS method enhances Neural Architecture Search with combined supervision

Researchers have introduced PPNAS, a new method for Neural Architecture Search (NAS) that effectively combines limited, costly performance labels with abundant, noisy zero-cost proxies (ZCPs). PPNAS leverages ordinal information from ZCPs to create pairwise ranking supervision and uses prediction-powered inference (PPI) to correct discrepancies between ZCP-based and true performance rankings. This approach achieves state-of-the-art results in predictor-based NAS under restricted evaluation budgets, marking a significant advancement in label-efficient NAS. AI

IMPACT This method could accelerate the development of more efficient AI models by reducing the computational cost of architecture search.

    Prediction-powered Neural Architecture Search

    arXiv:2610.01317v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Evaluating candidate architectures in neural architecture search (NAS) faces an inherent trade-off: on the one hand, reliable performance labels are limited because training and evaluating architectures is costly; on the other hand,…
