Abstract
===============================================================
We propose the use of Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNN)
in concert with Differential Evolution for solving inverse problems in
electromagnetics. We show that networks built using innovations like
convolutional layers, batch normalization, parametric REctified Linear Unit
(ReLU) and residual blocks achieve comparable performance to previously
reported dense fully-connected networks but achieve drastic reduction in
parameter weights and training epoch lengths. The proposed lightweight CNNs
are used in concert with Differential Evolution global optimization to achieve
8x speedup in convergence time. Systematic hyperparameter grid searches are
reported to permit faster model discovery for application to other problems.

See the following arxiv paper for details


Requirements
================================================================
1) CUDA capable GPU
2) Python 3.5
3) Numpy, Matplotlib, Pandas, Scipy, Scikitlearn
4) Cudatooklit 9.0, CuDNN 7.1
5) Mxnet-GPU, Mxnet-cumkl
