• Abstract: Real-world design processes often involve the evolution and divergence of design paths (by branching, revising, merging, etc.), especially when multiple stakeholders or teams operate concurrently and/or explore different alternatives for complex and heterogeneous systems. Unfortunately, this variability in time and space can not be directly managed in current modeling spaces but requires resorting to external tools and methodologies. In order to tackle this problem, we introduce the Design Multiverse. The Design Multiverse aims to integrate in the modeling space a selection of revisions and variants, representing snapshots of a design state composed of multiple artifacts. This enables stakeholders to seamlessly trace, analyze, and manage design decisions, system variants, and their interdependencies. Concretely, in this paper we present a conceptual definition of the Design Multiverse, discuss usage scenarios such as model product lines and model/metamodel co-evolution, and propose an implementation leveraging the model federation paradigm.

  Inverse design, where we seek to design input variables in order to optimize an underlying objective function, is an important problem. We show that by instead optimizing over the learned energy function captured by the diffusion model, we can avoid such adversarial examples. In an N-body interaction task and a challenging 2D multi-airfoil design task, we demonstrate that by composing the learned diffusion model at test time, our method allows us to design initial states and boundary shapes.

  We decouple information extraction into two abilities, structuring and conceptualizing, which are shared by different tasks and schemas. Based on this paradigm, we propose to universally model various IE tasks with Unified Semantic Matching framework. In this way, USM can jointly encode schema and input text, uniformly extract substructures in parallel, and controllably decode target structures on demand.
