Abstract(in English) The goal of this study is to improve performance estimation for neural network architectures in neural architecture search (NAS), which leverages Bayesian optimization with Gaussian process regression. To achieve this goal, we propose a bagging method to boost the accuracy of Gaussian process regression by controlling over-fitting. Aiming to reduce the estimation error with Gaussian process regression, the proposed method extends the acquire function for Bayesian optimization in an existing NAS method: the extended acquire function iteratively estimates the inference accuracy of the target architecture with different supervised datasets and returns the median accuracy. For the rest, as with the existing method, the proposed method searches neural architectures efficiently by limiting the architectures to be actually trained only to those estimated to show high inference accuracy by Bayesian optimization. Experimental results show that the proposed method increased Spearman's rank correlation coefficient between an estimated ranking and the true ranking of inference accuracy for 100 neural architectures from 0.772 to 0.829. This indicates that the proposed method is useful for precisely estimating the inference accuracy of neural architectures.
