One important aspect of this advancement is involved in the effort of designing and upgrading neural architectures, which has been consistently attempted thus far. However, designing such architectures requires the combined knowledge and know-how of experts from each relevant discipline and a series of trial-and-error steps. In this light, automated neural architecture search (NAS) methods are increasingly at the center of attention; this paper aimed at summarizing the basic concepts of NAS while providing an overview of recent studies on the applications of NAS. It is worth noting that most previous survey studies on NAS have been focused on perspectives of hardware or search strategies. To the best knowledge of the present authors, this study is the first to look at NAS from a computer vision perspective. In the present study, computer vision areas were categorized by task, and recent trends found in each study on NAS were analyzed in detail.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23031713","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,6]],"date-time":"2023-02-06T02:06:43Z","timestamp":1675649203000},"page":"1713","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":49,"title":["Neural Architecture Search Survey: A Computer Vision Perspective"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Jeon-Seong","family":"Kang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"AI Robotics R&D Division, Korea Institute of Robotics & Technology Convergence, Seoul 06372, Republic of Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9293-4502","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"JinKyu","family":"Kang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Independent Researcher, Seoul 04620, Republic of Korea"}]},{"given":"Jung-Jun","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AI Robotics R&D Division, Korea Institute of Robotics & Technology Convergence, Seoul 06372, Republic of Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4889-6083","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kwang-Woo","family":"Jeon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AI Robotics R&D Division, Korea Institute of Robotics & Technology Convergence, Seoul 06372, Republic of Korea"}]},{"given":"Hyun-Joon","family":"Chung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AI Robotics R&D Division, Korea Institute of Robotics & Technology Convergence, Seoul 06372, Republic of Korea"}]},{"given":"Byung-Hoon","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"T3Q Co., Ltd., Seoul 06372, Republic of Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"115","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02478259","article-title":"A Logical Calculus of the Ideas Immanent in Nervous Activity","volume":"5","author":"McCulloch","year":"1943","journal-title":"Bull.
