In this paper, we propose a learnable sampling module based on variational auto-encoder (VAE) for neural architecture search (NAS), named as VAENAS, which can be easily embedded into existing weight sharing NAS framework, e. g., one-shot approach and gradient-based approach, and significantly improve the performance of searching results.
