The Rectilinear Steiner Minimum Tree (RSMT) problem is a fundamental problem in VLSI placement and routing and is known to be NP-hard. Traditional RSMT algorithms spend a significant amount of time on finding Steiner points to reduce the…

Recent years have witnessed rapid advances in the use of neural networks to solve combinatorial optimization problems. Nevertheless, designing the "right" neural model that can effectively handle a given optimization problem can be…

The rectilinear Steiner minimum tree (RSMT) problem computes the shortest network connecting a given set of points using only horizontal and vertical lines, possibly adding extra points (Steiner points) to minimize the total length. RSMT…

The increasing number of rectilinear floorplans in modern chip designs presents significant challenges for traditional macro placers due to the additional complexity introduced by blocked corners. Particularly, the widely adopted wirelength…

When learning graph neural networks (GNNs) in node-level prediction tasks, most existing loss functions are applied for each node independently, even if node embeddings and their labels are non-i.i.d. because of their graph structures. To…

The high computational complexity and increasing parameter counts of deep neural networks pose significant challenges for deployment in resource-constrained environments, such as edge devices or real-time systems. To address this, we…

Graph neural networks (GNNs) have drawn significant research attention recently, mostly under the setting of semi-supervised learning. When task-agnostic representations are preferred or supervision is simply unavailable, the auto-encoder…

Minimizing wire-lengths is one of the most important objectives in circuit design. The process involves initially placing the logical units (cells) of a circuit onto a physical layout, and subsequently routing the wires to connect the…

The Weisfeiler-Lehman (WL) test is a widely used algorithm in graph machine learning, including graph kernels, graph metrics, and graph neural networks. However, it focuses only on the consistency of the graph, which means that it is unable…

Binary neural networks (BNNs) have been widely adopted to reduce the computational cost and memory storage on edge-computing devices by using one-bit representation for activations and weights. However, as neural networks become…

Transistors are the basic building blocks for all electronics. Accurate prediction of their current-voltage (IV) characteristics enables circuit simulations before the expensive silicon tape-out. In this work, we propose using deep neural…

Common measures of neural representational (dis)similarity are designed to be insensitive to rotations and reflections of the neural activation space. Motivated by the premise that the tuning of individual units may be important, there has…

Considering a graph with unknown weights, can we find the shortest path for a pair of nodes if we know the minimal Steiner trees associated with some subset of nodes? That is, with respect to a fixed latent decision-making system (e.g., a…

Graph kernels are conventional methods for computing graph similarities. However, the existing R-convolution graph kernels cannot resolve both of the two challenges: 1) Comparing graphs at multiple different scales, and 2) Considering the…
