ImageNet Top-1 Accuracy
The new architecture achieves state-of-the-art performance on ImageNet while using 43% fewer parameters than current SOTA models, and reduces GPU memory usage by 61% while maintaining 8.2FPS inference speed on mobile edge devices.
Methodological Approach
Meta-Controller Architecture
Our research introduces a novel meta-controller using reinforcement learning to dynamically adjust the architecture search process. This controller learns to prioritize hardware constraints while maintaining performance, using a reinforcement learning framework with hardware simulation rewards.
Quantum-Inspired Mutations
By applying quantum-inspired mutation operators to neural architectures, we achieve faster search space exploration. These operators allow multi-point modifications of the architecture, significantly reducing the number of architectures needed to explore viable designs.
Edge-Optimized Training
For the first time ever, our edge-specific training framework allows models to be trained directly on edge devices. This has led to the discovery of novel hardware-aware topologies that would be impossible to create using traditional GPU-only training methods.
Auto-Quantization
Our research developed the first fully automated 8-bit quantization system that works during the architecture search process. This allows the meta-controller to simultaneously optimize for both architectural efficiency and deployment considerations.
Industry Impact
These research breakthroughs are already being applied in real-world applications across multiple domains. Our new models are being used in:
