Training a good supernet in one-shot NAS methods is difficult since the search space is usually considerably huge (e.g., $13^{21}$). In order to enhance the supernet's evaluation ability, one greedy strategy is to sample good paths, and let…

For a random walk on a network, the mean first-passage time from a node $i$ to another node $j$ chosen stochastically according to the equilibrium distribution of Markov chain representing the random walk is called Kemeny constant, which is…
