IEA Project

The idea of the IEA can be traced back to the 2013 work when our team tried to help one of our collaborators to resolve a production yield issue. The work was published in ITC 2014 and won the Best Paper award. Since then, we had been trying to automate the analytic process for production yield optimization. The IEA project, founded in 2018, was a result from research in the previous 5 years.

The IEA demo shown below was our first vision toward the project. Since 2019, the project has been evolving very fast and hence, our vision also evolved accordingly. We will provide an update when we feel that a closure point has been reached. We expect to reach such a closure point by the end of 2021 or in early 2022. Thank you.

This tutorial paper explains the evolution to the IEA view for applying machine learning in design and test. Theoretical and practical constraints are highlighted for understanding why the IEA view is taken in the current stage of the evolution.

IEA Demo

The IEA demo below is an excerpt of the course video from the Lecture 01 “IEA Introduction” given by Dr. Wang in the new course “Machine Learning in Design and Test Automation I” in Fall 2018 at UCSB. An extended demo was later presented on October 31 at ITC 2018 during his AI 4.1 presentation.
