SCALE: Self-Supervised Constraint-Aware Layout GEneration for Local P&R DRV Fixing at Advanced Nodes

Chia-Tung Ho, Haoyu Yang, Guanglei Zhou, Yoshi Nishi, Yaguang Li, Walker Turner, et al.

As semiconductor manufacturing advances toward sub-2nm nodes, local place-and-route (P&R) design-rule violation (DRV) fixing is increasingly limited by complex rule interactions, dense multi-layer routing geometries, and foundry-specific constraints. While Large Language Models (…

EXPLORE: Exploration with Guided Search for Analog Topology Generation using Language Models

Guanglei Zhou, Chen-Chia Chang, Yikang Shen, Jonathan Ku, Isaac Jacobson, Jingyu Pan, et al.

Automating analog circuit topology design is essential to reduce the extensive manual effort required to meet increasingly diverse and customized application demands. Recent advances have applied sequence-to-sequence fine-tuning on pretrained language models to directly generate…

FARS: A Fully Automated Research System Deployed at Scale

Qiong Tang, Tianxiang Sun, Xiangkun Hu, Xiangyang Liu, Yiran Chen, Yunfan Shao, et al.

Recent automated research systems show that language-model agents can generate hypotheses, run experiments, and write complete manuscripts, but most evidence still comes from selected examples, human-framed topics, or a few pre-defined research tasks. We present FARS (Fully Autom…

Position Bias Correction is Insufficient for One-Pass Attention Sorting

Qiong Tang, Xiangkun Hu, Xiangyang Liu, Yiran Chen, Yunfan Shao

Long-context language models suffer from position bias, where information in middle positions is underutilized. Attention Sorting addresses this by iteratively reordering documents based on attention patterns, but its multiple sort-and-generate cycles increase deployment cost. We…

NLL-Guided Full-Attention Layer Selection for Training-Free Sliding-Window Adaptation

Qiong Tang, Xiangkun Hu, Xiangyang Liu, Yiran Chen, Yunfan Shao

Hybrid attention models that mix full and sliding-window attention across layers offer a promising approach to efficient long-context inference, but the critical question of \emph{which layers} should retain full attention remains unsolved. Existing methods use either fixed perio…

Output-Space Allocation Costs for Calibration-Guided LLM Compression: An Empirical Study

Qiong Tang, Xiangkun Hu, Xiangyang Liu, Yiran Chen, Yunfan Shao

Training-free compression methods for large language models (LLMs) often use calibration data to guide compression decisions. ROCKET, a recent method combining sparse-dictionary factorization with multi-choice knapsack problem (MCKP) allocation, derives its per-layer factorizatio…
