EvoTreeNAD: Genealogy-Guided Evolution for LLM-Driven Neural Architecture Discovery

EvoTreeNAD is a genealogy‑guided evolutionary algorithm that autonomously discovers neural architectures without a predefined seed or search space. Starting from an empty root, it builds a persistent genealogy where each node represents a complete architecture; top‑percentile values from nodes and descendants steer lineage selection. The method combines an Idea Agent that proposes variants and a Code Agent that implements them, with theoretical analysis showing stationary variation regimes and empirical results demonstrating superior performance on CIFAR‑10/100 and MedMNIST‑v2 tasks.

LLM-Driven Evolutionary Generation of Multi-Objective Bayesian Optimization Algorithms

arXiv:2607. 08791v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Designing effective multi-objective Bayesian optimization (MOBO) algorithms requires balancing many interdependent design choices whose optimal configuration is problem-dependent and typically demands deep expertise.

SyntheticHLS: Building Diverse Synthetic High-Level Synthesis Datasets using LLMs

SyntheticHLS is a framework that uses large language models to create large-scale, diverse synthetic high‑level synthesis (HLS) datasets. It employs an iterative, feedback‑guided mutation loop that transforms seed designs into more complex, scalable ones, guided by quantitative metrics of design complexity and scalability. The resulting datasets outperform manually curated or zero‑shot generated ones in training deep learning models for HLS quality‑of‑results, offering broader coverage of design space and better generalization.

NetlistBench: Evaluating LLM Reliability in SPICE Netlist Recognition and Manipulation

arXiv:2608. 12197v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used in circuit design workflows, yet their reliability on simulator-facing SPICE netlist recognition and manipulation remains poorly understood and is rarely separated from high-level design reasoning.
