Extract

We are working on using machine learning to make the numerical optimization of complex engineering designs faster and more reliable. We envision a system that learns from previous design sessions knowledge that enables it to assist the engineer in setting up and carrying out a new design optimization. We have performed initial experiments for two aspects of setting up an optimization: selecting a prototype to serve as a starting point for the optimization and selecting a reformulation of the search space. Both choices can dramatically affect the speed and the reliability of design optimization.
