Sample-Wise Activation Patterns for Ultra-Fast NAS
(ICLR 2024 Spotlight)

SWAP-Score, based on sample-wise activation patterns, a metric that assesses the performance of neural networks without training.

Usage

The following instruction demonstrates the usage of evaluating network's performance through SWAP-Score.

/src/metrics/swap.py contains the core components of SWAP-Score.

/datasets/DARTS_archs_CIFAR10.csv contains 1000 architectures (randomly sampled from DARTS search space) along with their CIFAR-10 validation accuracies (trained for 200 epochs).

  • Install necessary dependencies (a new virtual environment is suggested).
cd SWAP
pip install -r requirements.txt
  • Calculate the correlation between SWAP-Score and CIFAR-10 validation accuracies of 1000 CNN architectures.
python correlation.py
