Nevertheless, the non-determinism of certain design automation software introduces variability in data labels, posing a substantial hurdle to effective ML model training. In the first part of this talk, we will delve into the utilization of CNNs for predicting design rule violations, along with a stochastic technique to mitigate the challenges stemming from noisy data labels generated by parallel routers. The growing demand for CNN computation necessitates the development of specialized CNN hardware accelerators. In the second part, the talk will be focused on the co-optimization of CNN hardware architecture and dataflow mapping\u2014an intricate problem characterized by an extensive discrete solution space. We will introduce an innovative analytical approach, making a significant advancement over current state-of-the-art methods in improving inference speed and reducing power consumption as well as computational cost.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Ji<span style=\"color: #000000;\">ang Hu <\/span><\/strong>is a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Texas A&amp;M University.
