arXiv:2607. 23469v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Photonic-crystal surface-emitting lasers (PCSELs) can combine high-power operation with narrow-divergence surface emission, but optimizing coupled parameters requires costly full-wave simulations.

arXiv:2606. 03038v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural field surrogates can accelerate photonic design loops, but a surrogate that looks accurate in global field error can still mis-rank candidate devices when the final decision depends on localized output-port readouts.

arXiv:2608. 02229v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Classical neural networks frequently produce overconfident predictions on ambiguous or out-of-distribution (OOD) data, a liability that grows with each AI system deployed in safety-critical real-world scenarios.

arXiv:2606. 11574v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In many materials and product design problems, desirable candidates exhibit properties that fall within an acceptable range rather than achieve a single optimum.

arXiv:2606. 28578v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Closed-loop materials discovery iterates between proposing candidate structures and evaluating their properties, and property evaluation dominates the cost.

arXiv:2607. 04356v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Bayesian Optimization (BO) generally begins with an initialization phase: a batch of $n_0$ uninformed evaluations.

arXiv:2603. 24567v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Constrained optimization in high-dimensional black-box settings is difficult due to expensive evaluations, the lack of gradient information, and complex feasibility regions.
By Raju Chowdhury, Tanmay Sen, Biswabrata Pradhan
arXiv:2607. 08791v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Designing effective multi-objective Bayesian optimization (MOBO) algorithms requires balancing many interdependent design choices whose optimal configuration is problem-dependent and typically demands deep expertise.
