Abstract
Methods for compressing shape data for a set of electronic designs include inputting a set of shape data, where the shape data comprises mask designs. A convolutional autoencoder encodes the set of shape data, where the encoding compresses the set of shape data to produce a set of encoded shape data. The convolutional autoencoder is tuned for increased accuracy of the set of encoded shape data based on design rules for the set of shape data. The convolutional autoencoder comprises a set of parameters comprising weights, and the convolutional autoencoder has been trained to determine what information to keep based on the weights.
