Title: LEARNING IMPLEMENTATION RULES IN CIRCUIT DESIGN
BY HARMONIZING BEHAVIORS WITH SPECIFICATIONS
Date: Friday, August 3, 1984
The problem of expertise acquisition by monitoring the user's response to
advice offered by the system is considered here as an implementation
rule acquisition problem in a domain of VLSI circuit design. The task
is characterized as learning a Macro-operator in a problem space,
where data-streams and modules are viewed as states and operators,
respectively. A Goal-Directed-Learning [Mitchell 83a] approach toward
justifiable generalization by analyzing a single training instance is
then applied to this problem. Both the usefulness of its approach and
the remaining issues are clarified by examination through examples.
