The aim of this work is to design and implement a program for automated design of convolutional neural networks (CNN) with the use of evolutionary computing techniques. From a practical point of view, this approach reduces the requirements for the human factor in the design of CNN architectures, and thus eliminates the tedious and laborious process of manual design. This work utilizes a special form of genetic programming, called Cartesian genetic programming, which uses a graph representation for candidate solution encoding.This technique enables the user to parameterize the CNN search process and focus on architectures, that are interesting from the view of used computational units, accuracy or number of parameters. The proposed approach was tested on the standardized CIFAR-10dataset, which is often used by researchers to compare the performance of their CNNs. The performed experiments showed, that this approach has both research and practical potential and the implemented program opens up new possibilities in automated CNN design.
