Abstract

A method includes generating a plurality of vector sequences based on input signals of an electric circuit design and encoding the plurality of vector sequences. The method also includes clustering the plurality of encoded vector sequences into a plurality of clusters and selecting a set of encoded vector sequences from the plurality of clusters. The method further includes selecting a first set of vector sequences corresponding to the selected set of encoded vector sequences, selecting a second set of vector sequences from the plurality of vector sequences not in the first set of encoded vector sequences, and training, by a processing device, a machine learning model to predict power consumption using the first and second sets of vector sequences.
