Title: Random Cloud: Finding Minimal Neural Architectures Without Training

Abstract:
arXiv:2604.26830v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: I propose the \emph{Random Cloud} method, a training-free approach to neural architecture search that discovers minimal feedforward network topologies through stochastic exploration and progressive structural reduction. Unlike post-training pruning methods that require a full train-prune-retrain cycle, this method evaluates randomly initialized networks without backpropagation, progressively reduces their topology, and only trains the best minima
