Sony patents method to find neural network designs using fake data
Sony describes a system that creates a dataset with fake labels to test different neural network structures. It checks if the error rate is high enough to confirm the network design is valid before outputting the structure.
In the filing’s own words
An information processing apparatus includes: a generation unit that assigns a pseudo label, which is a pseudo label, to data, so as to generate a pseudo data set including the data assigned the pseudo label; a determination unit that determines whether or not a loss value of a loss function used for optimization calculation of a neural architecture search algorithm is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, in a case where the pseudo data set is input to the neural architecture search algorithm; and an output control unit that outputs structure information regarding a structure of a neural network, in a case where the determination unit determines that the loss value is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. An information processing apparatus comprising: a generation unit that assigns a pseudo label, which is a pseudo label, to data, so as to generate a pseudo data set including the data assigned the pseudo label; a determination unit that determines whether or not a loss value of a loss function used for optimization calculation of a neural architecture search algorithm is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, in a case where the pseudo data set is input to the neural architecture search algorithm; and an output control unit that outputs structure information regarding a structure of a neural network, in a case where the determination unit determines that the loss value is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold.
