Surrogate assisted diversity estimation in neural ensemble search

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.26940v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Ensembles are a standard way to improve the performance and robustness of deep neural networks, but their effectiveness crucially depends on both the quality and the diversity of individual models. Most neural architecture search (NAS) methods are computationally expensive. Extending them to neural ensemble search (NES), which requires joint optimization of individual architectures and their ensemble composition, leads to an exponential growth of the search space and makes the problem computationally intractable. To address this, we introduce a dual-objective surrogate-guided ensemble search: candidate architectures are represented as directed acyclic graphs, and two surrogate models are trained independently to estimate predictive accuracy a
