Electronic Design Automation Lab, Prof. Yao-Wen Chang Link to heading

  • Performing quantum compilation for the quantum fourier transform problem using a placement approach.
  • Implemented Google’s “A graph placement methodology for fast chip design” and improved their model design and problem formulation. Verified the correlation in placement quality between placing cell-clusters and placing cells themselves to justify the effectiveness of reinforcement-learning-based placement techniques in placement quality.
  • Proposed and implemented algorithms for non-integer-multiple-height (NIMH) standard cell placement for modern floor-plans.
  • Designed novel algorithms based on delayed hierarchical routing to handle incremental changes to the floor-plan.

Speech Processing and Machine Learning Lab, Prof. Hung-Yi Lee Link to heading

  • Designed stacked-autoencoders that could filter out noises without supervision, improving signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) by 2 fold.
  • Designed an alternative way of pre-training BERT that improves pre-training time and data efficiency by 10-times.
  • Proposed and verified HuBERT’s K-means and categorical loss function setting is equivalent to auto-encoders with permissive reconstruction losses in high dimensional vector spaces.

Institute of Health Policy and Management, Prof. Tzu-Bin Lu Link to heading

  • Built a Markov chain to simulate numbers of people infected after being vaccinated and the cost-effectiveness with different vaccine coverage to help assess public health policies.
