Leveraging Discrete Function Decomposability for Scientific Design

The paper introduces Decomposition-Aware Distributional Optimization (DADO), a new algorithm that exploits decomposability in property predictors to improve in‑silico design of discrete objects such as proteins, circuits, and materials. DADO uses a soft‑factorized search distribution and graph message‑passing to coordinate optimization across linked factors defined by a junction tree over design variables. The method aims to make distributional optimization over combinatorial design spaces more efficient by leveraging the structure of the predictive model.
