Abstract

According to various implementations, generally disclosed herein is a hybrid and hierarchical neural architecture search (NAS) approach. The approach includes performing a search space partitioning scheme to divide the search space into sub-search spaces. The approach further includes performing a first type of NAS, such as a Multi-trial NAS, to cover a search across the sub-search spaces. The approach also includes performing a second type of NAS, such as a One-Shot NAS, to cover each sub-search space. The approach further includes automatically stopping the second type of NAS based on one or more early stopping criteria.
