--------- [](LICENSE.md) Automated Deep Learning Projects (AutoDL-Projects) is an open source, lightweight, but useful project for everyone. This project implemented several neural architecture search (NAS) and hyper-parameter optimization (HPO) algorithms. 中文介绍见[README_CN.md](https://github.com/D-X-Y/AutoDL-Projects/tree/main/docs/README_CN.md) **Who should consider using AutoDL-Projects** - Beginners who want to **try different AutoDL algorithms** - Engineers who want to **try AutoDL** to investigate whether AutoDL works on your projects - Researchers who want to **easily** implement and experiement **new** AutoDL algorithms. **Why should we use AutoDL-Projects** - Simple library dependencies - All algorithms are in the same codebase - Active maintenance ## AutoDL-Projects Capabilities At this moment, this project provides the following algorithms and scripts to run them. Please see the details in the link provided in the description column.

## Requirements and Preparation **First of all**, please use `pip install .` to install `xautodl` library. Please install `Python>=3.6` and `PyTorch>=1.5.0`. (You could use lower versions of Python and PyTorch, but may have bugs). Some visualization codes may require `opencv`. CIFAR and ImageNet should be downloaded and extracted into `$TORCH_HOME`. Some methods use knowledge distillation (KD), which require pre-trained models. Please download these models from [Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ANmiYEGX-IQZTfH8w0aSpj-Wypg-0DR-) (or train by yourself) and save into `.latent-data`. Please use ``` git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/D-X-Y/AutoDL-Projects.git XAutoDL ``` to download this repo with submodules. ## Citation If you find that this project helps your research, please consider citing the related paper: ``` @inproceedings{dong2021autohas, title = {{AutoHAS}: Efficient Hyperparameter and Architecture Search}, author = {Dong, Xuanyi and Tan, Mingxing and Yu, Adams Wei and Peng, Daiyi and Gabrys, Bogdan and Le, Quoc V}, booktitle = {2nd Workshop on Neural Architecture Search at International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR)}, year = {2021} } @article{dong2021nats, title = {{NATS-Bench}: Benchmarking NAS Algorithms for Architecture Topology and Size}, author = {Dong, Xuanyi and Liu, Lu and Musial, Katarzyna and Gabrys, Bogdan}, doi = {10.1109/TPAMI.2021.3054824}, journal = {IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (TPAMI)}, year = {2021}, note = {\mbox{doi}:\url{10.1109/TPAMI.2021.3054824}} } @inproceedings{dong2020nasbench201, title = {{NAS-Bench-201}: Extending the Scope of Reproducible Neural Architecture Search}, author = {Dong, Xuanyi and Yang, Yi}, booktitle = {International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR)}, url = {https://openreview.net/forum?id=HJxyZkBKDr}, year = {2020} } @inproceedings{dong2019tas, title = {Network Pruning via Transformable Architecture Search}, author = {Dong, Xuanyi and Yang, Yi}, booktitle = {Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS)}, pages = {760--771}, year = {2019} } @inproceedings{dong2019one, title = {One-Shot Neural Architecture Search via Self-Evaluated Template Network}, author = {Dong, Xuanyi and Yang, Yi}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV)}, pages = {3681--3690}, year = {2019} } @inproceedings{dong2019search, title = {Searching for A Robust Neural Architecture in Four GPU Hours}, author = {Dong, Xuanyi and Yang, Yi}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR)}, pages = {1761--1770}, year = {2019} } ``` # Others If you want to contribute to this repo, please see [CONTRIBUTING.md](.github/CONTRIBUTING.md).
