A Continuous Encoding-Based Representation for Efficient Multi-Fidelity Multi-Objective Neural Architecture Search
Our latest research introduces a groundbreaking approach to Neural Architecture Search (NAS), tackling the critical challenge of computational expense in optimizing deep learning models. By combining a novel continuous encoding method with adaptive Co-Kriging-assisted multi-fidelity multi-objective optimization, we significantly reduce the search space and accelerate convergence, enabling the discovery of superior U-Net architectures with optimal predictive performance and computational complexity.
Executive Impact: Key Breakthroughs
This study presents ACK-MFMO-DE, a sophisticated NAS algorithm that leverages continuous encoding and multi-fidelity optimization to drastically reduce the computational burden of designing efficient U-Net architectures. The method demonstrates superior performance and efficiency across diverse tasks, including biomedical image segmentation and engineering regression problems, while cutting search costs by over 97% compared to traditional methods.

The Adaptive Co-Kriging-Assisted Multi-Fidelity Multi-Objective Differential Evolution (ACK-MFMO-DE) algorithm efficiently navigates the complex Neural Architecture Search space by integrating multi-fidelity models and adaptive sampling strategies, as depicted in the workflow above.
Continuous Encoding Halves Search Space Dimensionality
50% Reduction in Search Space DimensionalityOur novel continuous encoding method significantly reduces the number of variables in the Neural Architecture Search problem, moving from discrete to continuous representations. This not only halves the dimensionality but also improves the accuracy of the Co-Kriging model, leading to faster and more effective exploration of the optimal architecture space.

Revolutionizing Retinal Vessel Segmentation with NAS
The Problem
Retinal vessel segmentation is crucial for diagnosing eye diseases, but traditional methods or manually designed U-Nets often lack optimal balance between accuracy and computational cost. Automating this design process through NAS can lead to more effective diagnostic tools.
Our Solution
Applying ACK-MFMO-DE-U-Net to the CHASE_DB1 dataset, we discovered architectures that achieve a best AUROC of 0.9897. This outperforms state-of-the-art models like Genetic U-Net (0.9880) and AL-ECNAS (0.9882) while requiring significantly fewer FLOPs. Our method efficiently identifies Pareto-optimal architectures, offering a superior trade-off.
Enterprise Impact
The enhanced predictive performance, combined with reduced computational complexity, means faster and more accurate disease detection in clinical settings. This frees up medical experts and accelerates research into eye health diagnostics, providing a clear competitive edge.
