arXiv:2607. 04758v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Physical design quality-of-results~(QoR) optimization is hard and expensive.
arXiv:2608. 16733v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Physical design algorithms operate within tightly coupled, multi-stage optimization flows, where stage-local gains may vanish or induce downstream degradation.
AI for Research (AI4Research) leverages AI to automate and improve scientific workflows. While experimental design is a critical stage of the research process, prior work has focused primarily on code implementation and execution, overlooking the importance of this stage, and no benchmark exists to evaluate AI's ability to conduct systematic experiment design.
arXiv:2607. 16632v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hardware engineering exposes coding agents to a form of long-horizon work that is difficult to capture with pass-at-k: progress is continuous, tool feedback is delayed and heterogeneous, and a backend failure may require revising RTL rather than tuning another physical-design parameter.
arXiv:2608. 03501v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI for Research (AI4Research) leverages AI to automate and improve scientific workflows.
arXiv:2606. 26758v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High-performance GPU kernels are critical for reducing the exponentially growing computational costs of large language models (LLMs), but their development heavily relies on manual tuning by domain experts.
arXiv:2606. 26327v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In actor-critic reinforcement learning, network architectures are typically manually designed.
arXiv:2606. 28279v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present HORIZON, a self-evolving agent framework that treats hardware design as repository-level code evolution.
arXiv:2606. 25207v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hyperparameter Optimization (HPO) is essential for maximizing machine learning model performance, and its core challenge is sample efficiency: finding strong configurations within a limited budget.
arXiv:2607. 23722v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as agents that interact with stateful environments over multiple steps: gathering hidden information, composing tool calls, and committing state changes.
arXiv:2608. 14380v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many real-world tasks require LLM agents to interact with their environments over long execution horizons.
arXiv:2607. 20468v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI agents are increasingly used to automate research and development tasks, yet existing benchmarks typically evaluate them on prescribed workflows or narrow action spaces.
arXiv:2605. 06936v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: LLM-based agents are increasingly applied to the "last mile" of Electronic Design Automation (EDA): repairing residual sign-off Design Rule Check (DRC) violations and converging Power-Performance-Area (PPA) targets after tool runs.
