A curated list of awesome resources combining Transformers with Neural Architecture Search

Overview

Awesome Transformer Architecture Search: Awesome

To keep track of the large number of recent papers that look at the intersection of Transformers and Neural Architecture Search (NAS), we have created this awesome list of curated papers and resources, inspired by awesome-autodl, awesome-architecture-search, and awesome-computer-vision. Papers are divided into the following categories:

  1. General Transformer search
  2. Domain Specific, applied Transformer search (divided into NLP, Vision, ASR)
  3. Insights on Transformer components or searchable parameters
  4. Transformer Surveys

This repository is maintained by the AutoML Group Freiburg. Please feel free to pull requests or open an issue to add papers.
