Appendix: VariationalContinualBayesian Meta-Learning

Neural Information Processing Systems

In variational continual learning, the posterior distribution of interest is frequently intractable and approximation is required. We summarize the meta-training process of our VC-BML in algorithm 1. Moreover,we evaluate FTML onthe unseen tasks (i.e., tasks sampled from meta-test set) instead ofthe training tasksthattheoriginalFTMLused. It would be unfair to adopt the original initialization procedure in OSML. BOMVI [10]: In our experiments, we use variational inference to approximate the posterior of meta-parameters. E.3.2 Settings As the latent variables in this paper are meta-parameters and task-specific parameters, the dimensionality ofthelatent space isactually determined bythenumber ofparameters inthedeep neural network. In particular, we define a CNN architecture and present its details in Table 1.

The Policy-gradient Placement and Generative Routing Neural Networks for Chip Design

Neural Information Processing Systems

Distinct from traditional heuristic solvers, this paper on one hand proposes an RL-based model for mixed-size macro placement, which differs from existing learning-based placers that often consider the macro by coarse grid-based mask. While the standard cells are placed via gradient-based GPU acceleration. On the other hand, a one-shot conditional generative routing model, which is composed of a special-designed input-size-adapting generator and a bi-discriminator, is devised to perform one-shot routing to the pins within each net, and the order of nets to route is adaptively learned.
