Research Experience

Multi-agent System for the Analog Code Generation

Proposing MenTeR, a novel multi-agent AI workflow that automates and accelerates end-to-end RF/analog circuit design by reducing trial-and-error and expanding design space exploration, laying the foundation for future AI-assisted analog design tools.

Pin-Han Chen*, Yu-Sheng Lin*, et al. "MenTeR: A fully-automated Multi-agenT workflow for end-to-end RF/Analog Circuits Netlist Design." Submitted to IEEE International Conference on LLM-Aided Design (IEEE ICLAD). 2025.

Physics Informed Neural Network (PINN) for thermal simulation

Proposed a U-Net trained with Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) loss for System-on-Chip (SoC) thermal simulation. Incorporated the Sobel operator into the loss function to enforce adherence to the governing thermal equation (Fourier-Biot) during training.

Yu-Sheng Lin*, Li-Song Lin*, et al. "Fast SoC thermal simulation with physics-aware U-Net." Workshop at the 37th conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS). 2023.

Explainable AI (XAI) on Face Recognition

Proposing a novel explainable metric, called xCos, that provides spatial explanation for the face verification task.

Yu-Sheng Lin, et al. "xCos: An Explainable Cosine Metric for Face Verification Task." ACM Transactions on Multimedia Computing Communications and Applications (TOMM). 2021.

Object Detection under Extreme Low-Light Conditions with RAW Images

Proposing a high-quality large-scale Night Object Detection (NOD) dataset showing dynamic scenes captured on the streets at night. Improve generalization to unseen camera sensors by implementing a minimal neural ISP pipeline for machine cognition, named GenISP.
