Researchers seek to advance predictive AI for engineers with CAD model data set
Artificial intelligence appears poised to augment or replace human artists in some cases. Carnegie Mellon University researchers are training a robot to pick up painting techniques by watching humans, and last month MIT researchers introduced a generative model that predicts how humans paint landscape art by training AI with YouTube videos of people painting. Now a team from Princeton hopes to make industrial design more automated as well.
Columbia University introduced SketchGraphs, a data set of 15 million 2D computer-aided design (CAD) sketches and open source data processing pipeline. AI trained using the data set could eventually assist humans in sketching CAD models.
