Chip Placement with Deep Reinforcement Learning

Azalia Mirhoseini, Anna Goldie, Mustafa Yazgan +19

In this work, we present a learning-based approach to chip placement, one of the most complex and time-consuming stages of the chip design process. Unlike prior methods, our approa…

GAP: Generalizable Approximate Graph Partitioning Framework

Azade Nazi, Will Hang, Anna Goldie +2

Graph partitioning is the problem of dividing the nodes of a graph into balanced partitions while minimizing the edge cut across the partitions. Due to its combinatorial nature, ma…

Generalized Clustering by Learning to Optimize Expected Normalized Cuts

Azade Nazi, Will Hang, Anna Goldie +2

We introduce a novel end-to-end approach for learning to cluster in the absence of labeled examples. Our clustering objective is based on optimizing normalized cuts, a criterion wh…
