Understanding Inductive Bias in Machine LearningSUTEJAS
This presentation explores the concept of inductive bias in machine learning. It explains how algorithms come with built-in assumptions and preferences that guide the learning process. You'll learn about the different types of inductive bias and how they can impact the performance and generalizability of machine learning models.
The presentation also covers the positive and negative aspects of inductive bias, along with strategies for mitigating potential drawbacks. We'll explore examples of how bias manifests in algorithms like neural networks and decision trees.
By understanding inductive bias, you can gain valuable insights into how machine learning models work and make informed decisions when building and deploying them.
We have compiled the most important slides from each speaker's presentation. This year’s compilation, available for free, captures the key insights and contributions shared during the DfMAy 2024 conference.
Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming PipelinesChristina Lin
Traditionally, dealing with real-time data pipelines has involved significant overhead, even for straightforward tasks like data transformation or masking. However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.

A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.
Low power architecture of logic gates using adiabatic techniquesnooriasukmaningtyas
The growing significance of portable systems to limit power consumption in ultra-large-scale-integration chips of very high density, has recently led to rapid and inventive progresses in low-power design. The most effective technique is adiabatic logic circuit design in energy-efficient hardware. This paper presents two adiabatic approaches for the design of low power circuits, modified positive feedback adiabatic logic (modified PFAL) and the other is direct current diode based positive feedback adiabatic logic (DC-DB PFAL). Logic gates are the preliminary components in any digital circuit design. By improving the performance of basic gates, one can improvise the whole system performance. In this paper proposed circuit design of the low power architecture of OR/NOR, AND/NAND, and XOR/XNOR gates are presented using the said approaches and their results are analyzed for powerdissipation, delay, power-delay-product and rise time and compared with the other adiabatic techniques along with the conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) designs reported in the literature. It has been found that the designs with DC-DB PFAL technique outperform with the percentage improvement of 65% for NOR gate and 7% for NAND gate and 34% for XNOR gate over the modified PFAL techniques at 10 MHz respectively.

2. Introduction:
• In the world of digital electronic systems, there are 3 basic kinds of devices:
• Memory, microprocessor, logic devices
• Memory devices store random information such as the contents of a spreadsheet or
database.
• Microprocessors execute software instructions to perform a wide variety of tasks
such as running a word processing Program or video game.
• Logic devices provide specific functions, including
• device-to-device interfacing,
• data communication,
• signal processing,
• data display,
• timing and control operations, and
• almost every other function a system must perform.
2
3. Logic Devices:
• A logic device is one which can perform any logic function
• Logic devices are broadly classified in to two categories:
• Fixed and
• Programmable.
• As the name suggests, the circuits in a fixed logic device are permanent, they
perform one function or set of functions – once manufactured, they cannot be
changed.
• On the other hand, programmable devices are standard and offers a wide range of
logic features and voltage characteristics - and these devices can be changed at any
time to perform various logic functions.
3
4. Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs):
• A programmable logic device is an integrated circuit with internal logic gates and
interconnects.
• These gates can be connected to obtain the required logic Configuration.
• The term Programmable means changing either hardware or software configuration
of an internal logic and interconnects.
• Of course the configuration of the internal logic is done by the user.
• PROM,EPROM,PAL,GAL etc.. are few examples of programmable logic devices.
4
5. Programmable Logic Devices contd…:
• A PLD is a general purpose chip for implementing logic circuitry.
• It contains a collection of logic circuit elements that can be customized in different
ways.
• A PLD can be viewed as a black box that contains logic gates and programmable
switches .
• These devices allow the end user to specify the logical operation of the device
through a process called “programming”
5
6. Types of PLDs:
• Among the several types of commercial PLDs available, there are two important
types.
• PLA (Programmable logic array)
• PAL (Programmable array logic)
6
7. Programmable logic array:
• The PLA was developed in the middle 1970s as the first non-memory programmable
logic device.
• It is used as programmable ‘AND’ array as well as programmable ‘OR’ array i.e., both
‘AND’ and ‘OR’ planes are programmable.
• Logic functions can be realized using SOP.
7
9. Programmable logic array contd…:
• Advantages:
• The architecture of PLA is more flexible.
• Frequently used in state machine design.
• Disadvantages:
• Although the PLA is more flexible it has not been widely accepted by engineers.
• Due to programmable ‘AND’ and ‘OR’ planes, more number of programmable switches are
required, which reduce the speed performance of the circuits implemented in PLAs.
9
10. Programmable Array logic (PAL):
• The drawbacks in PLA has led to the development of similar device in which the
‘AND’ plane is programmable, but ‘OR’ plane is fixed.
• Such a chip is known as a programmable array logic (PAL).
10
12. Programmable Array logic (PAL) contd…:
• Advantages:
• Frequently used in practical applications.
• Less expensive and offer better performance than PLA.
• Disadvantages:
• ROM guaranteed to implement any M functions of N inputs. PAL may have too few inputs to
the OR gates.
12
13. CPLDs & FPGAs:
• To retain the advantages and to overcome the disadvantages of PLAs and PALs the
newly introduced devices are known as CPLDs and FPGAs
• WHAT DO THEY DO?:
• These are reprogrammable logic devices .
• Designers use software to develop any digital circuit they like and the program the chip to
perform the function.
• They are very fast – much faster than a microcontroller.
13
14. CPLDs:
• Instead of relying on a programming unit to configure a chip , it is advantageous to
be able to perform the programming while the chip is still attached to its circuit
board. This method of programming is known as “In-System programming”
(ISP).
• It is not usually provided for PLAs (or) PALs , but it is available for the more
sophisticated chips known as “Complex programmable logic device”.
• “A Complex programmable logic device is a device that contain multiple
combination of PLAs and PALs”
14
16. Field programmable logic devices (FPGAs):
• Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) arrived in 1984 as an alternative to
programmable logic devices (PLDs) and ASICs.
• As their name implies ,FPGAs offer the significant benefit of being readily
programmable.
• FPGAs fill a gap between discrete logic and the smaller PLDs on the low end of the
complexity scale and costly custom ASICs on the high end.
16
17. FPGAs contd…:
• Just a few years ago, the largest FPGA was measured in tens of thousands of system
gates and operated at 40MHz.
• Older FPGAs often cost more than $150 for the most advanced parts at the time.
• Today, however, FPGAs offer millions of gates of logic capacity, operate at
300MHz, can cost less than $10, and offer integrated functions like processors and
memory
• FPGAs offer all of the features needed to implement most complex designs.
17
18. FPGAs contd…:
• “A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a programmable logic device that
supports implementation of relatively large logic circuits.”
• As the name suggests, Field Programmable Gate Arrays the standard logic
elements are available for the designer.
• He has only to interconnect these elements to achieve the desired functional
performance.
18
19. FPGA Architecture:
• The architecture of FPGA is very simple than other programmable devices.
• The basic elements of an Field Programmable Gate Array are:
• Configurable logic blocks(CLBs)
• Configurable input output blocks(IOBs)
• Two layer metal network of vertical and horizontal lines for interconnecting the CLBS and
FPGAs (programmable interconnect)
19
21. FPGA Architecture contd…:
• CONFIGURABLE LOGIC BLOCK:
• Basic repeating logic resource on an FPGA.
• The components in CLBs execute complex logic functions, implement memory functions,
and synchronize code on the FPGA.
• CLBs contain smaller components, including flip-flops, look-up tables, and multiplexers.
• Flip-flop - Each flip-flop in a CLB is a binary shift register.
• Look-up Table (LUT) - A collection of gates hardwired on the FPGA. A LUT stores a predefined list
of outputs for every combination of inputs.
• Multiplexer—A circuit that selects between two or more inputs and then returns the selected input.
21
24. FPGA Architecture contd…:
• CONFIGURABLE I/O LOGIC BLOCK:
• Used to interface FPGA with external components.
• Is an arrangement of transistors for configurable I/O drivers.
24
26. FPGA Architecture contd…:
• PROGRAMMABLE INTERCONNECTS:
• These are unprogrammed interconnection resources on the chip which have
channelled routing with fuse links.
• Provides the routing path used to connect the inputs and outputs of the IOBs and
CLBs into the logic network.
• Programmable highly interconnect matrix is available. In this case the design is that
of the interconnections and communications only.
26
28. FPGA Advantages:
• Design cycle is significantly reduced. A user can program an FPGA design in a few minutes or
seconds rather than weeks or months required for mask programmed parts.
• High gate density i.e., it offers large gate counts. Compared with PLDs they are less dense.
• No custom masks tooling is required saving thousands of dollars(Low cost).
• Low risk and highly flexible.
• Reprogram ability for some FPGAs(design can be altered easily).
• Can replace currently used SSI and MSI chips.
• Suitable for prototyping.
28
29. FPGA Limitations:
• Speed is comparatively less.
• The circuit delay depends on the performance of the design implementation tools.
• The mapping of the logic design into FPGA architecture requires sophisticated
design implementation (CAD)tools than PLDs.
