MedNNS: Supernet-based Medical Task-Adaptive Neural Network Search

The paper introduces MedNNS, a neural network search framework designed for medical imaging, addressing challenges in architecture selection and weight initialization. MedNNS constructs a meta-space encoding datasets and models based on their performance using a Supernetwork-based approach, expanding the model zoo size by 51x. The framework incorporates rank loss and Fréchet Inception Distance (FID) loss to capture inter-model and inter-dataset relationships, improving alignment in the meta-space and outperforming ImageNet pre-trained DL models and SOTA NAS methods.

Uncertainty Modeling of Emerging Device-based Computing-in-Memory Neural Accelerators with Application to Neural Architecture Search

arXiv · Jul 6 · Research Hardware

This paper analyzes the impact of device uncertainties on deep neural networks (DNNs) in emerging device-based Computing-in-memory (CiM) systems. The authors propose UAE, an uncertainty-aware Neural Architecture Search scheme, to identify DNN models robust to these uncertainties. The goal is to mitigate accuracy drops when deploying trained models on real-world platforms.
