On the Generalization in Topology Optimization via Sensitivity-Conditioned Bernoulli Flow Matching

Researchers introduce sensitivity-conditioned Bernoulli flow matching to improve out-of-distribution generalization in topology optimization surrogate models. By conditioning on adjoint sensitivities—the gradient information that drives classical optimization—the approach achieves state-of-the-art performance across structural and computational fluid dynamics benchmarks under distribution shifts like changing loads and boundary conditions.
