'tss' node connection? about nats-bench

[D-X-Y]

Thanks for your questions. nor_conv_3x3 indicates a 3-by-3 convolution, the connection between node-0 and node-1 is implicitly shown in this string.
Specifically, |nor_conv_3x3~0|+|nor_conv_3x3~0|avg_pool_3x3~1|+|skip_connect~0|nor_conv_3x3~1|skip_connect~2| indicates the topology of a cell with three nodes: |nor_conv_3x3~0| and |nor_conv_3x3~0|avg_pool_3x3~1| and |skip_connect~0|nor_conv_3x3~1|skip_connect~2|.

• |nor_conv_3x3~0| means the tensor of node-1 is 3-by-3-conv( input of this cell (indicated as 0) )
• |nor_conv_3x3~0|avg_pool_3x3~1| means the tensor of node-2 is 3-by-3-conv( input of this cell ) plus pool( node-1 ).
