Generating a child network using the Controller

Now, we implement a method that generates a child network using the Controller:

def generate_child_network(self, child_network_architecture):    with self.graph.as_default():        return self.sess.run(self.cnn_dna_output, {self.child_network_architectures: child_network_architecture})

Once we generate our child network, we call the train_child_network function to train it. This function takes child_dna and child_id and returns the validation accuracy that the child network achieves. First, we instantiate a new tf.Graph() and a new tf.Session() so that the child network is separated from the Controller's graph:

def train_child_network(self, cnn_dna, child_id):    """ Trains a child network and returns reward, ...
