Bilevel Optimization for Neural Architecture Search 文章

arXiv:2606.29582v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Bilevel optimization has become an influential and widely adopted framework for addressing hierarchical optimization problems in machine learning, providing an effective approach to modeling the interaction between two levels of optimization, with applications such as hyperparameter tuning, meta-learning, adversarial training, and data poisoning. Neural Architecture Search (NAS), a subfield of hyperparameter optimization, is a prime example of a bilevel optimization problem, with architecture parameters optimized at the outer-level and network weights optimized at the inner level. This paper presents a structured overview of NAS through the lens of bilevel optimization.
