Feature space exploration as an alternative for design space exploration beyond the parametric space [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 This paper compares the parametric design space with a feature space generated by the extraction of design features using deep learning (DL) as an alternative way for design space exploration. In this comparison, the parametric design space is constructed by creating a synthetic dataset of 15.000 elements using a parametric algorithm and reducing its ...

Dispelling the myth of robotic efficiency: why human space exploration will tell us more about the Solar System than will robotic exploration alone [PDF]
Astronomy and Geophysics, Vol. 53, pp. 2.22-2.26, 2012, 2012 There is a widely held view in the astronomical community that unmanned robotic space vehicles are, and will always be, more efficient explorers of planetary surfaces than astronauts (e.g. Coates, 2001; Clements 2009; Rees 2011). Partly this is due to a common assumption that robotic exploration is cheaper than human exploration (although, as we shall ...

LASER: LLM Agent with State-Space Exploration for Web Navigation [PDF]
arXiv.org, 2023 Large language models (LLMs) have been successfully adapted for interactive decision-making tasks like web navigation. While achieving decent performance, previous methods implicitly assume a forward-only execution mode for the model, where they only ...

GNN-Surrogate: A Hierarchical and Adaptive Graph Neural Network for Parameter Space Exploration of Unstructured-Mesh Ocean Simulations [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, 2022 We propose GNN-Surrogate, a graph neural network-based surrogate model to explore the parameter space of ocean climate simulations. Parameter space exploration is important for domain scientists to understand the influence of input parameters (e.g., wind

PULSE: Self-Supervised Photo Upsampling via Latent Space Exploration of Generative Models [PDF]
Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2020 The primary aim of single-image super-resolution is to construct a high-resolution (HR) image from a corresponding low-resolution (LR) input. In previous approaches, which have generally been supervised, the training objective typically measures a pixel ...
