Abstract

Classification algorithms Deep learning Machine learning algorithms Neural networks Pattern recognition Search problems
In recent years, deep neural networks have had great success in machine learning and pattern recognition. Architecture size for a neural network contributes significantly to the success of neural networks. In this study, we optimize the selection process by investigating different search algorithms to find a neural network architecture size that yields the highest accuracy. We apply binary search on a very well-defined binary classification network search space and compare the results to those of linear search. We also propose how to relax some of the assumptions regarding the data set so that our solution can be generalized to any binary classification problem. We report a 100-fold running time improvement over the naive linear search when we apply the binary search method to our data sets in order to find the best architecture candidate. By finding the optimal architecture for any binary classification problem quickly, we hope that our research contributes to discovering intelligent algorithms for optimizing architecture selection in machine learning.
