RiPPLE is a method for ranking neural architectures across an entire search space using only a small fraction of early training data. It treats partial training as labels for a limited set of anchor architectures, extrapolates their learning curves, and propagates these surrogate labels to other architectures without requiring per‑candidate features. The approach is evaluated on twelve benchmark cells from four search‑space families and the larger DARTS space, demonstrating its effectiveness in ranking quality, label efficiency, and architecture selection.

CoRA-NAS is a two‑stage neural architecture search framework that first uses a static coarse ranking (CoRA‑Rank) based on capacity and structure‑at‑initialization proxies, then refines this ranking with low‑cost learning‑curve extrapolation (CoRA‑Refine) using an ExtraTrees model. The method achieves high Spearman correlations across multiple benchmark spaces and selects architectures with accuracy close to the ground‑truth best, all while using only about 1% of the training cost of fully training the candidate set. CoRA‑NAS provides a single configuration that works across different search spaces, combining cross‑space ranking robustness with efficient architecture selection.

Large language model (LLM)-driven evolution has shown promise for program search and algorithm discovery, but relying on strong models throughout long evolutionary runs is costly. A natural alternative is to combine cheap and strong models under a fixed inference budget.
