ReDIL-GNN is a framework for resynthesis domain‑incremental learning in circuit graph neural networks. It adapts a fixed prediction or representation head as new synthesis styles appear and evaluates retention across all previously seen domains. The method introduces the Resynthesis Adaptability Index (RAI), a pre‑adaptation score that combines adaptation need, source‑equivalence recoverability, structural coverage, and update compatibility to decide whether to adapt, reuse, or defer updates.

LevelSyn introduces a physical-aware logic synthesis framework that uses a level-asynchronous Graph Neural Network to predict accurate gate coordinates by learning the structural and directional semantics of And-Inverter Graphs. It incorporates a level-aligned subgraph partitioning strategy to handle large designs and integrates these spatial insights into a new synthesis engine within the Berkeley ABC framework. Experiments on the EPFL benchmark suite show significant improvements, with an average power reduction of 6.89%, a timing delay improvement of 27.48%, and a 99.59% reduction in design rule check violations.
TARGet is an open‑source, topology‑aware machine‑learning framework for modeling RF circuits. It uses S‑parameter representations of sub‑circuits and a fusion architecture that combines Graph Neural Networks with sub‑circuit connectivity‑aware networks, enabling learning across multiple topologies. Experiments show TARGet achieves sub‑1% prediction error, reduces training data needs by up to 35.5×, and improves accuracy by 9.7× over state‑of‑the‑art models, with zero‑shot transfer to unseen sub‑circuit topologies.

LevelSyn is a physical-aware logic synthesis framework that uses a level-asynchronous Graph Neural Network to predict high-fidelity gate coordinates by learning the structural and directional semantics of And-Inverter Graphs. It incorporates a level-aligned subgraph partitioning strategy to manage industrial-scale designs and integrates these spatial insights into a new synthesis engine within the Berkeley ABC framework. Experiments on the EPFL benchmark suite show LevelSyn outperforms state-of-the-art methods, achieving an average power reduction of 6.89%, a timing delay improvement of 27.48%, and a 99.59% reduction in design rule check violations.
