hi there today we're looking at neural architecture search without training by Joseph Miller Jack Turner amis Torquay and Eliot J Crowley on a high level this paper performs neural architecture search by looking at the correlation matrices of the Jacobian of the of the data when you pass it through the network and it does so at initialization so you pass the data look at the Jacobian and if it's very correlated then the network is bad and if it's very uncorrelated then the network is good and by simply observing that they can
