  • Placement and Design

Simulation optimization

Reduce the repetition of trials in manufacturing.


  • Discover good solutions with fewer trials, by combining Bayesian optimization with low-dimensionalization.
  • Used to increase efficiency of design operations; e.g., for thermal power turbines and wind turbines.

Applications



  • Optimize parameters for thermal power turbine design.
  • Optimize wind farm layout.
  • Investigate compositions in drug discovery and new functional materials.
  • Can be used to resolve problems where optimum parameters and combinations are determined by repeated trials.

Benchmarks, strengths, and track record



  • Low-dimension Bayesian optimization technologies reduce the number of trials by 50% compared to conventional methods.
