Inputs & Outputs for Perceptron to MLP focuses on model capacity vs error trend, parameter count, and inference latency estimate. The goal is to connect model behavior to hardware-aware decisions and operational risk.
Use this as a signed interface contract. Missing assumptions here create expensive rework loops between ML, EDA, and silicon teams.
INPUTS
- dataset scope + split policy + revision tags
- model architecture + training/inference config
- runtime / compiler / hardware target assumptions
- acceptance criteria tied to VLSI workflow outcome
OUTPUTS
- quality metrics with calibration and confidence bands
- runtime profile (latency / bandwidth / utilization)
- signoff-correlation report for workflow impact
- release or rollback decision memoTENSOR / PIPELINE MAP — Perceptron to MLP

Ask: what evidence connects this ML claim to a concrete VLSI workflow decision and owner signoff?
Every AI claim should map to a measurable engineering outcome.
Validate both model quality and hardware/runtime feasibility before adoption.
Optimizing benchmark metrics that do not correlate with signoff goals.
Ignoring data drift and calibration after deployment.
Shipping ML workflows without clear rollback ownership.
