Abstract

Applying machine learning to analyze data from design and test flows has received growing interests in recent years. In some applications, data can be limited and the core of analytics becomes a feature search problem. In this context, the chapter explains the challenges for adopting a traditional machine learning problem formulation view. An adjusted machine learning view is suggested where learning from limited data is treated as an iterative feature search process. The theoretical and practical considerations for implementing such a search process are discussed.
