A new multi-view circuit-graph benchmark suite, R2G (RTL-to-GDSII), has been introduced to standardize circuit representations for Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) in physical design tasks. Addressing the critical challenge of inconsistent representations, R2G offers five stage-aware views across 30 open-source IP cores. Systematic studies reveal that view choice significantly impacts performance more than model choice, with node-centric views demonstrating superior generalization and specific decoder-head depths achieving near-perfect predictions, promising a major leap for GNNs in EDA.
LLM agents often fail when user instructions for tool-calling are ambiguous. A novel framework, "structured uncertainty," addresses this by directly operating on tool parameters, distinguishing user intent from LLM prediction uncertainty. It uses Expected Value of Perfect Information (EVPI) to value clarifying questions while preventing redundancy. Demonstrated with SAGE-Agent, this boosts task coverage by 7-39% and reduces questions by 1.5-2.7x. It also improves training, enhancing "When2Call" accuracy from ~36% to ~65% via uncertainty-weighted reinforcement learning, proving sample efficiency. ClarifyBench, a new benchmark, supports evaluation.
Current large language model agents struggle with complex instruction conflicts due to rigid, limited instruction hierarchies.
