New #ICCV2025 paper: ✨ Aligning Constraint Generation with Design Intent in Parametric CAD ⚙️
We apply post-training techniques to the task of generating engineering sketch constraints found in parametric CAD, using a constraint solver for verifiable rewards.
At #ICML this week @SamXu03799145 will present our latest work that generates solid CAD models in a controllable manner. Check out the tweet below for details!
In our latest #ICML2023 paper "Hierarchical Neural Coding for Controllable CAD Model Generation" hnc-cad.github.io/, we learn the design intent from different CAD hierarchies in a self-supervised manner, and demonstrate its application on multiple tasks e.g. autocomplete.
The ICML Poster session is Thu 27 Jul 2023 at 10:30 a.m. HST — noon HST: icml.cc/virtual/2023/poster/…

An automated way to assemble thousands of objects: A new algorithm for automatic assembly of products is accurate, efficient, and generalizable to a wide range of complex real-world assemblies. mitsha.re/i2tu50LZyLn
ALT Illustration showing manufacturing parts in the simulation pipeline. In top three panels, a rod and several nuts and bolts are being fastened to a rectangular plate; in the bottom three panels, a cylindrically shaped motor is being assembled.
Our latest collaboration with @MIT_CSAIL and @TAMU led by @YunshengTian will be presented at SIGGRAPH Asia today!
We want to make it easier to assemble objects AND to disassemble them for end-of-life recycling and part reuse.

want to get into program synthesis but don't know how to started? I wrote a minimalist intro to modern program synthesis that can help you -- from problem formulation to generating code by fine-tuning llm on huggingface.

Large language model failure mode of the month: Mode collapse to all emoji output all the time. Not helpful 🤷♂️😫🤬 @evanthebouncy
Collage is a whole lot of fun! Chatting to @_joelsimon and @ev_ancasey was even more so. Super cool/smart team making progress on the grand challenge of how we interact with AI to create.
We’re hard at work on a new way to make generative art, and are excited to share our first prototype!
Create any scene you can imagine with a simple collage and a prompt.

📢 We are hiring in the Autodesk AI Lab. Doubling down on what @adam_gaier said, for all those folks that are mission driven to create tools for designing better buildings, cars, devices etc and want to use AI/ML to make it happen.
Come work with me at Autodesk!
i'll pick you up at the intersection of AI and design

Fun collaboration between the Autodesk AI Lab and @jiajunwu_cs lab at Stanford! Learning to assemble (and also disassemble) is both technically challenging and impactful for manufacturing efficiency and ensuring products don't have a negative impact at end-of-life.
For folks who are still at #ICML2022 I'll be giving a talk today at the Workshop on Machine Learning for Computational Design. Exciting line up!
