Learning Faster without Deeper Networks: A*-Inspired Batch Selection for Efficient CNN Training

Jul 17, 2026

Traditional CNN training relies on random mini-batch sampling, which often leads to rapid saturation of learning signals as most samples quickly become “easy,” thereby slowing convergence. This work proposes A*-inspired Batch Selection (A*-BS), the first approach to integrate A* search into batch selection, introducing a dynamic scoring mechanism that jointly considers sample loss difficulty and reuse penalties to adaptively select informative and diverse batches. Without modifying network architecture or optimizer, A*-BS achieves superior performance on lightweight CNNs across half of the MedMNIST-v2 benchmark tasks, outperforming ResNet-18/50 in both accuracy and AUC—by up to 15% relatively—while significantly accelerating training. These results demonstrate that intelligent batch sequencing can partially substitute for model depth.
