Progressive: Gradual Complexity (Progressive NAS)

Search Space: Configuration of possible architectures (layer types, number, connections).

Limitations: Requires significant compute and can take days/weeks.

Frequently asked questions

What is the purpose of using pre-trained embeddings?

Pre-trained Embeddings: Utilizing ready-made embeddings for NLP/vision tasks.

How does warm start improve model training?

Warm Start: Beginning the training process with models already trained on similar tasks, accelerating convergence.

What is automated fine-tuning in AutoML?

Fine-tuning: Automatically adjusting pre-trained models for optimal performance on a specific dataset.

Can meta-learning be used to enhance AutoML results?

Meta-learning: Leveraging knowledge from other datasets to improve the learning process and model selection within AutoML.
