Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper presents a novel deep-reinforcement-learning-based method for analog circuit structure synthesis. It behaves like a designer, who learns from trials, derives design knowledge and experience, and evolves gradually to eventually figure out a way to construct circuit structures that can meet the given design specifications. Necessary design rules are defined and applied to set up the specialized environment of reinforcement learning in order to reasonably construct circuit structures. The produced circuit structures are then verified by the simulation-in-loop sizing. In addition, hash table and symbolic analysis techniques are employed to significantly promote the evaluation efficiency. Our experimental results demonstrate the sound efficiency, strong reliability, and wide applicability of the proposed method.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
