YOLO-NAS-Bench: A Surrogate Benchmark with Self-Evolving Predictors for YOLO Architecture Search
This paper introduces YOLO-NAS-Bench, the first surrogate benchmark for YOLO-style object detectors, which employs a self-evolving mechanism to iteratively refine a LightGBM predictor, enabling efficient and accurate discovery of high-performing architectures that surpass official YOLO baselines.
