Claim 18:
19. A computing device, comprising:
one or more processors configured to:
generate, by an actor neural network having actor parameters in accordance with current values of the actor parameters, a set of continuous neural network architecture parameters comprising score distributions over possible values for configuring a plurality of architecture cells of a trained search space;
discretize the set of continuous architecture parameters into a set of discrete neural network architecture parameters;
generate a candidate architecture by configuring the trained search space using the discrete neural network architecture parameters, which specify a subset of the plurality of architecture cells to be active;
evaluate a performance of the candidate architecture at performing a task;
determine a reward and a state for the discrete neural network architecture parameters based on the performance;
store an experience tuple comprising the continuous neural network architecture parameters, the reward, and the state in a buffer storage;
learn a mapping, by a critic neural network, between network architectures and performance; and
update the actor neural network with the learned mapping from the critic neural network.
