• Abstract: Designing distributed filtering circuits (DFCs) is complex and time-consuming, with the circuit performance relying heavily on the expertise and experience of electronics engineers. However, manual design methods tend to have exceedingly low-efficiency. This study proposes a novel end-to-end automated method for fabricating circuits to improve the design of DFCs. The proposed method harnesses reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms, eliminating the dependence on the design experience of engineers. Thus, it significantly reduces the subjectivity and constraints associated with circuit design. The experimental findings demonstrate clear improvements in both design efficiency and quality when comparing the proposed method with traditional engineer-driven methods. In particular, the proposed method achieves superior performance when designing complex or rapidly evolving DFCs. Furthermore, compared to existing circuit automation design techniques, the proposed method demonstrates superior design efficiency, highlighting the substantial potential of RL in circuit design automation.

  Inverse design, where we seek to design input variables in order to optimize an underlying objective function, is an important problem. We show that by instead optimizing over the learned energy function captured by the diffusion model, we can avoid such adversarial examples. In an N-body interaction task and a challenging 2D multi-airfoil design task, we demonstrate that by composing the learned diffusion model at test time, our method allows us to design initial states and boundary shapes.
