  • Publication number: 20230288907
    Abstract: The subject technology is related to methods and apparatus for training a set of regression machine learning models with a training set to produce a set of predictive values for a pending manufacturing request, the training set including data extracted from a set of manufacturing transactions submitted by a set of entities of a supply chain. A multi-objective optimization model is implemented to (1) receive an input including the set of predictive values and a set of features of a physical object, and (2) generate an output with a set of attributes associated with a manufacture of the physical object in response to receiving the input, the output complying with a multi-objective condition satisfied in the multi-objective optimization model.

  • Patent number: 10061300
    Abstract: The subject technology is related to methods and apparatus for discretization, manufacturability analysis, and optimization of manufacturing process based on computer assisted design models and machine learning. An apparatus determines from the digital model features of a physical object. Thereafter, the apparatus produces predictive values for manufacturing processes based on regression machine learning models. The apparatus generates a non-deterministic response including a non-empty set of attributes of manufacture processes of the physical object based on a multi-objective optimization model. The non-deterministic response complies or satisfies a selected multi-objective condition included in the multi-objective optimization model.
