IntelliSwAS: Optimizing deep neural network architectures using a particle swarm-based approach

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a novel swarm-based approach for neural architecture search.

• The search technique is enhanced with a model that extends recurrent neural networks.

• The proposed model is able to process data structured as directed acyclic graphs.

• We used image classification for performance-evaluation experiments of the method.

• Our approach surpassed 89.8% of image classification models from the literature.
