Title: GTAC: A Generative Transformer for Approximate Circuits

Abstract:
arXiv:2601.19906v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Targeting error-tolerant applications, approximate computing relaxes rigid functional equivalence to significantly improve power, performance, and area. Traditional approximate logic synthesis (ALS) relies on incremental rewriting, limiting design space exploration. Meanwhile, the inherently probabilistic nature of Transformer-based generative AI makes it a natural fit for generating approximate circuits. Exploiting this, we propose GTAC,
