Categorical Optimization with Bayesian Anchored Latent Trust Regions for Structural Design under High-Dimensional Uncertainty

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

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.

A FEM-Based Surrogate Modelling and Optimization Framework for Physics-Constrained Electromagnetic Coil Design

The paper presents a surrogate‑assisted optimization framework for designing a seven‑parameter current‑excited electromagnetic coil, coupling a 2‑D axisymmetric FEM model with a Matern 5/2 Gaussian‑process surrogate. Sequential Bayesian optimization using expected improvement (EI) is compared with COBYLA and BOBYQA, showing that the ranking of methods depends on the FEM evaluation budget and that different methods excel at early progress, terminal response, or computational cost. A retrospective study indicates no clear advantage of EI over posterior‑mean ranking on this smooth response surface, and the results are specific to the axisymmetric benchmark used.
