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.
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.
arXiv:2607. 13688v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Emerging sustainable materials increasingly rely on engineered hierarchy and microstructure to achieve control of their properties and mechanical behavior.
arXiv:2607. 23480v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Variational autoencoders (VAEs) transform high-dimensional, often noisy data into a compact latent representation, making downstream optimization more tractable.
arXiv:2605. 07565v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study Bayesian Optimisation (BO) in settings where the objective function is influenced by uncontrollable environmental contexts governed by an unknown probability distribution.
arXiv:2606. 09037v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) design requires balancing conflicting objectives and multi-physics constraints, while modern optimization workflows face three bottlenecks: manual problem setup, high finite element analysis (FEA) cost, and unreliable surrogate-based search in sparse or out-of-distribution regions.
arXiv:2607. 10896v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Small-data inverse design is challenging in engineering informatics when observations are heterogeneous, mixed-type, and constrained by physical relations among design variables.
arXiv:2608. 05006v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Metamodels are instrumental in reducing the computational burden associated with nested reliability analyses and optimization loops in Performance-Based Risk Optimization (PBRO) of structures under stochastic loads.
arXiv:2606. 09037v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This study presents a large language model (LLM)-based multi-agent framework for interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) design optimization that mitigates limitations of conventional workflows: expertise-dependent problem setup and data preparation, the prohibitive computational cost of finite element analysis (FEA), and the unreliability of AI surrogates in unexplored regions.
arXiv:2606. 00862v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Surrogate-assisted evolutionary algorithms (SAEAs) have been widely used for expensive black-box optimization problems.
arXiv:2606. 18691v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pre-trained materials foundation models, or machine learning interatomic potentials, leverage general physicochemical knowledge to effectively approximate potential energy surfaces.
arXiv:2606. 19230v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This work presents an extension to Pareto Front Guided Sampling (PFGS), a Human-in-the-Loop (HitL) Bayesian Optimization (BO) framework in which Gaussian process (GP) surrogate-derived quantities are reformulated as objectives of a multi-objective optimization problem, and the resulting Pareto front is exposed to a domain expert for interactive candidate selection rather than returning a single automated recommendation.
arXiv:2607. 23448v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Expensive constrained optimization problems in real-world industry design often involve constraint thresholds that are difficult to determine in advance.
