Abstract: Machine learning is a powerful technique that can derive knowledge from large data set, and provide prediction and modeling. Since VLSI chip designs have extremely high complexity and gigantic data, recently there has been a surge in applying and adapting machine learning to accelerate the design closure. In this talk, we focus on some key techniques and recent developments of machine learning on chips. Three design acceleration techniques and related applications will be covered: active learning based Pareto curve learning, deep convolutional network based detection, and generative adversarial network (GAN) based design.
