METHOD FOR GENERATING NEURAL NETWORK ARCHITECTURE AND COMPUTING APPARATUS EXECUTING THE SAME

A method for generating artificial neural network architecture includes selecting any one of a plurality of artificial neural network architectures as a backbone architecture, calculating weights of a plurality of candidate operation blocks applicable to each stage for each of one or more stages constituting the backbone architecture, replacing or removing at least one of the plurality of candidate operation blocks based on the calculated weight, and repeatedly performing the calculating of the weight and the replacing or removing the at least one candidate operation block by a preset number of times to configure a final candidate operation block set for each stage and select any one of the final candidate operation block as an operation block of a corresponding stage.
