arXiv:2604. 25241v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Categorical structural optimization under aleatoric uncertainty is challenging because each design variable must be selected from a finite catalog of admissible instances, while each candidate design may require expensive stochastic finite-element evaluations.

MidSurfNet is a learning-based method for pairing faces in thin‑walled CAD models, addressing the key subproblem of mid‑surface abstraction for finite element analysis. It uses a dual‑stream scorer—one geometry stream and one attributed‑topology stream—fused by a pair‑conditioned gate to make per‑pair decisions that replace manual thresholds. The method organizes retained relations into variable‑cardinality face groups independent of processing order, and on a new MidSurf dataset of 1,575 annotated models it achieves an 87.32% pair‑level F1‑score and a 75.42% completion rate, outperforming rule‑based baselines, especially on multi‑wall‑thickness cases.

The paper introduces a method that integrates a frozen text‑to‑image diffusion model into density‑based topology optimization via score distillation sampling. By converting a natural language prompt into a generative gradient, the approach lets physics decide which design features survive, achieving significant compliance reductions across multiple domains and physics regimes. An automated pipeline then transforms the optimized density fields into CAD‑ready geometries.

The monograph introduces Elimination Geometry (EG), a typed, native‑loss, audit‑oriented framework that investigates when locally optimal objects can be realized by a shared deployment rule. EG examines how elimination and compression can erase distinctions needed for prediction, inference, control, or representation, and it separates local solvability, global realizability, and finite‑sample certifiability. The work synthesizes tools from geometry, optimization, information theory, statistics, and machine learning to address regular, coordination, singular, compositional, and resource‑limited mechanisms, and demonstrates applications in sparse model selection, distribution‑free prediction, observational treatment policies, routed expert and retrieval systems, and learned score fields.
