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.

In our latest #ICML2023 paper "Hierarchical Neural Coding for Controllable CAD Model Generation" https://t.co/qQcJt91zgm, we learn the design intent from different CAD hierarchies in a self-supervised manner, and demonstrate its application on multiple tasks e.g. autocomplete.

Using this reduced search space we can efficiently discover feasible assembly plans. To evaluate our approach we take it to another level by testing on a dataset of 10,000+ assemblies and show state-of-the-art results.

We generate assembly plans by disassembling CAD assemblies part-by-part. The key idea is to use a contact-rich simulation with a discrete number of approximate force directions to pull parts away from the main assembly.

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. https://t.co/tzPHmzoQh3

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 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.

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.
