arXiv:2606. 17577v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI-driven engineering workflows face particular challenges in crash safety design: unlike aerodynamics, crash events involve highly nonlinear contact dynamics, material nonlinearity, and discrete state transitions that are difficult to capture with data-driven surrogate models.
To the best of our knowledge, we present the first foundation model--orchestrated workflow for crash safety design that enables surrogate-assisted exploration for pedestrian protection, reducing evaluation time from hours per CAE simulation to seconds. …

HOBA (Hierarchical On-policy Bidding Agents) is a novel hierarchical reinforcement learning framework that enhances online advertising bidding systems by improving adaptability and reducing hyperparameter tuning costs. It utilizes a for hyperparameter inference, a SARSA agent for expert model selection, and a dynamic expert pool for bid execution, achieving a +3.6% increase in target cost during large-scale deployment and outperforming state-of-the-art baselines on AuctionNet.
