报告摘要：

Physical design is a critical step in the design flow of modern VLSI circuits. With continuous increase of design complexity, physical design becomes extremely challenging and time-consuming due to the repeated design iterations for the optimization of performance, power, and area. With recent boom of artificial intelligence, deep learning has shown its potential in various fields, like computer vision, recommendation systems, robotics, etc. Incorporating deep learning into the VLSI design flow has also become a promising trend. In this talk, we will introduce our recent studies on developing dedicated deep learning techniques for cross-stage modeling and optimization in physical design. We will also discuss the impact of large-scale and diverse datasets (e.g., CircuitNet) on improving the performance of deep learning models.
