NAS Algorithms evaluated in NATS-Bench

The Python files in this folder are used to re-produce the results in ``NATS-Bench: Benchmarking NAS Algorithms for Architecture Topology and Size''.

• search-size.py contains codes for weight-sharing-based search on the size search space.
• search-cell.py contains codes for weight-sharing-based search on the topology search space.
• bohb.py contains the BOHB algorithm for both size and topology search spaces.
• random_wo_share.py contains the random search algorithm for both search spaces.
• regularized_ea.py contains the REA algorithm for both search spaces.
• reinforce.py contains the REINFORCE algorithm for both search spaces.

Requirements

• nats_bench>=v1.2 : you can use pip install nats_bench to install or from sources
• hpbandster : if you want to run BOHB
