Decision brief
Devolution of neural network architectures through genetic algorithms in Keras for automating design.
Good fit when
- Use DEvol when you need an early proof-of-concept tool to automate the design of neural network architectures with limited parameters, focusing specifically on classification problems.
- Consider it if your project involves shallow networks where computational resources are more manageable and parallel training setups can be established for evaluating multiple models.
Avoid when
- Avoid using DEvol in situations requiring deep or highly complex architectures due to the significant computational expense associated with evolutionary search over such a large parameter space.
- Do not use if you lack the infrastructure for parallel processing or do not want to optimize for shorter training epochs, as this can affect model accuracy and fitness evaluations.
- Pricing:
- freemium - Available under MIT license meaning it is free for personal and commercial use but the author cannot be held responsible or liable from damages caused by using DEvol.
