Pre-IEA Talks
In addition to the keynote paper in the IEA Papers page, the background of the IEA project can also be found in the following tutorial/short course/talk presentations
-
April 24, 2015, “Big Data Analytics in VLSI Design Automation and Test”, presented a short course. Presentation PDF
-
At this stage, our view for “applying machine learning” was mainly on “knowledge discovery” - slides 18-23 summarize such a view. At this point, we had not yet figured out how to automate the entirety of a knowledge discovery process. Hence, we would not call it as an “Autonomous System” yet.
-
October, 2016, “Towards Autonomous Analytics in Test Engineering”, presented at EWDTS. Presentation PDF
-
Early on, the idea of building an “autonomous system” to apply machine learning on test data was also presented in a talk at EW D&T Symposium (EWDTS).
-
September 11, 2017, “Machine Learning for Design and Manufacturing Automation”, a short course presented at an AI seminar. Presentation PDF
-
A short version was presented in other places later. At the end of this tutorial, we conclude that “applying machine learning” would lead to building an “Autonomous System,” which led us to the current IEA project.
In short, it took years for the research to evolve to the current point in 2018, where we believe that building an IEA system makes sense for applying machine learning in an application. In the upcoming talks, we will explain this journey more clearly and show why building an IEA system is really not by choice, but as an implied result naturally occurring in our research evolution process, starting from the original motivation to “apply machine learning” in an application many years ago.
