Recent advances combining simulation, optimization, and artificial intelligence have enabled the treatment of engineering design as a generative learning problem. This seminar will discuss and demonstrate techniques including conditional variable autoencoders, transformer surrogates, and reinforcement learning as meta-optimization.
