LLM-Guided Neural Architecture Search for Robust Co-Design of Physical Neural Networks

Tyler King, Timothee Leleu

Deploying neural networks on unconventional hardware demands architectures that co-optimize task accuracy and platform-specific constraints such as energy cost, physical non-ideali…

Improving Generalization by Permutation Routing Across Model Copies

Shuhei Kashiwamura, Timothee Leleu

We introduce a use of the \(M\)-cover (or \(M\)-layer) transform for machine learning. The method replicates a model \(M\) times, but instead of coupling the copies through paramet…
