• Abstract: We propose Lib2Vec, a novel self-supervised framework to efficiently learn meaningful vector representations of library cells, enabling ML models to capture essential cell semantics. The framework comprises three key components: (1) an automated method for generating regularity tests to quantitatively evaluate how well cell representations reflect inter-cell relationships; (2) a self-supervised learning scheme that systematically extracts training data from Liberty files, removing the need for costly labeling; and (3) an attention-based model architecture that accommodates various pin counts and enables the creation of property-specific cell and arc embeddings. Experimental results demonstrate that Lib2Vec effectively captures functional and electrical similarities. Moreover, linear algebraic operations on cell vectors reveal meaningful relationships, such as vector(BUF) - vector(INV) + vector(NAND) ~ vector(AND), showcasing the framework's nuanced representation capabilities. Lib2Vec also enhances downstream circuit learning applications, especially when labeled data is scarce.

  We introduce aTLAS, an algorithm that linearly combines parameter blocks with different learned coefficients, resulting in anisotropic scaling at the task vector level. We show that such linear combinations explicitly exploit the low intrinsicity of pre-trained models, with only a few coefficients being the learnable parameters. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method in task arithmetic, few-shot recognition and test-time adaptation, with supervised or unsupervised objectives.

  We introduce learnable lattice vector quantization and demonstrate its effectiveness for learning discrete representations. Our method, termed LL-VQ-VAE, replaces the vector quantization layer in VQ-VAE with lattice-based discretization. Compared to VQ-VAE, our method obtains lower reconstruction errors under the same training conditions, trains in a fraction of the time, and with a constant number of parameters.

  Transformer-based models are not efficient in processing long sequences due to the quadratic space and time complexity of the self-attention modules. We propose Linformer and Informer to reduce the quadratic complexity to linear (modulo logarithmic factors) via low-dimensional projection and row selection. Based on the theoretical analysis, we propose Skeinformer to accelerate self-attention and further improve the accuracy of matrix approximation to self-attention.

  We separate generative factors of data into two latent vectors in a variational autoencoder. To learn the discrete class features, we introduce supervision using a small amount of labeled data. We show that (i) this vector independence term exists within the result obtained on the evidence decomposing lower bound with multiple latent vectors, and (ii) encouraging such independence along with reducing the total correlation within the vectors enhances disentanglement performance.
