In the past years, significant improvements in the field of neural architecture search(NAS) have been made. However, it is still challenging to search for efficient networks due to the gap between the searched constraint and real inference time exists. To search for a high-performance network with low inference time, several previous works set a computational complexity constraint for the search algorithm. However, many factors affect the speed of inference(e.g., FLOPs, MACs). The correlation between a single indicator and the latency is not strong. Currently, some re-parameterization(Rep) techniques are proposed to convert multi-branch to single-path architecture which is inference-friendly. Nevertheless, multi-branch architectures are still human-defined and inefficient. In this work, we propose a new search space that is suitable for structural re-parameterization techniques. RepNAS, a one-stage NAS approach, is present to efficiently search the optimal diverse branch block(ODBB) for each layer under the branch number constraint. Our experimental results show the searched ODBB can easily surpass the manual diverse branch block(DBB) with efficient training.

Code

Syntology Ran 3 of 13 code samples harvested from 1 repository linked to this paper; 10 have no recorded run. Of those that ran: 1 ran · our draft was wrong; 2 ran with no contract checked.

By repository: official repository: 13 samples from 1 repository, 3 ran. The run record, sample by sample. “Ran” means executed on a synthesized input, not that the code is correct or reproduces the paper.

Repository list and official/mentioned flags are the archive's, frozen 2025-07-28. Reachability, where shown, is from one Syntology probe window (2026-09-16 to 2026-09-18); repositories not probed show nothing. GitHub stars are not tracked.

Licence: 0 of the 13 samples are pointer only, meaning Syntology does not serve that copy's text. This page shows no code text for any sample; each one links to its file in the repository.

Harvested from bestfleer/RepNAS. “Ran” means the sample executed on a synthesized input. It does not mean the output is correct, and nothing here reproduces the paper's results. “Honoured” and “violated” refer to a contract Syntology drafted from the code itself; “our draft was wrong” and “fixture could not drive it” are failures of Syntology's instrument, not of the code.

Each sample ends with its code_sha256, Syntology's identity for that exact code. An agent fetches the stored sample with Syntology's MCP tool get_code(code_sha256="…") (how to connect); click an identity to copy that call.

Repository labels, per sample. official repository: The archive marks this repository official for the paper. named in the paper: The archive records that the paper mentions this repository; it is not marked official. community (archive-listed): In the archive's code links for this paper, not marked official and not recorded as mentioned in the paper. found in paper text by Syntology: Syntology found this repository in the paper's own text; whether it is the authors' implementation is not asserted. community: Not in the archive's code links for this paper; a community repository Syntology harvested. Samples from a repository marked official are listed first. Licence labels name the repository's licence as recorded at harvest. “Pointer only” means Syntology does not serve that copy's text, for one of four reasons: no licence file was found; the licence was not identified; the licence is recorded as permissive but that copy's record is not marked cleared; or the licence is outside the permissive list Syntology serves text under (MIT, Apache-2.0, BSD and similar). Some licences outside that list permit redistribution, such as WTFPL, and GPL-3.0 under its conditions; they are simply not on the list. Hover a licence label for the reason. File links open the file on GitHub at the default branch, which may have changed since the harvest.
