AI/ML Data related projects

Generative design, a designers sets parameters to optimize the design. It does not utilize previous designs in iterative models. With AI/ML we try to learn from the past to make better decisions.

How do we get the human to work alongside the algorithm?

# House GAN - relational generative adversarial networks for graph constrained house layout generation.

CCCV - conference !

  • LIFULL is the dataset used
  • create vectorized dataset
  • the generator produces data and the discriminator tries to figure out if the result is real or fake, this reinforcement learning allows the generator to get feedback by trying to beat the discriminator.

how do you deal with local optima ?

  • in the example, is each color of program ( red blue, etc ) keep the same square footage?
  • larger dataset might help solve ?
  • how long does it take to train ? to run ?
  • do you track recall of the model?
  • how are you dealing with spatial data load?
# Learning to simulate and design for structural engineering

Proposal for UI/UX - https://interaction21.ixda.org/call-for-proposals/

EPIC Meeting

Review Diagram

Question

  • The UI team will generate geometries, textures, and facade details converted into CityJSON format to be used by Chalmers to procedurally generate the model at run-time.
  • How long do you think the generation will take seconds, minutes?
  • What is the best way for us to deliver assets to you? ( CityJSON )
  • What limitations might there be in this pipeline?
  • For Pixel streaming, does your pipeline generate a mp4 media file that can then be pixel streamed to the client?

# EPIC Meeting notes

KPF sends context extrusion massing to Chalmers API endpoint to procedurally generate level. We will first iterate through an internal JSON format and move towards CityJSON since Chalmers is still working on fully integrating CityJSON format into their pipeline. KPF needs to generate a list of assets we wish to send, window details, windows, doors, etc for Chalmers to comment on difficulty of generation.

Unreal Pixel Streaming(opens new window) City Engine Demo(opens new window) City Engine(opens new window)

KPF for instance will send 3 tree types, and Chalmers will place the trees throughout the level.

Next Steps

  • Chalmers send cityJSON, internal JSON format example.
  • Chalmers will test pixel streaming capabilities to see whether we can have multiple users view different levels from the same Unreal application.
  • KPF will create list of assets we wish to generate and see in the level.
  • KPF will think about variation ruleset.
  • KPF + Chalmers will come up with a list of questions to ask EPIC ( ken ).

Last Step

  • KPF will revise our proposal and share draft with Chalmers before submission.

Michael's Question

  • Are they intending to create a standalone application that can read CityJSON files at run-time? If Yes, then it's possible for a quick pipeline for Rhino > Web, without a user needing to open Unreal If No, that means they might be creating an "editor" tool (similar to Project Wren)\

  • How long will it take to generate & optimize detail once the CityJSON file is provided? This will depend on the model size, but I'm wondering if it will take minutes or hours. It would be useful to understand this so we can better map out the user UX flow
